I have some panasport ripoffs on the FB and they don't sit flush on the rear hubs. Today I lost two studs and two lugnuts as my tire went airborne. I have no original rims and have to get back to my Army base by Monday night. The rotor's been cut down on the asphalt and the shock mount got chewed up a -little-. There's also one of the two little hub screws missing from the hub. How do I get safely back on the road in time? Is there a workaround to eliminate these not-flush-sitting screws on the rear end?

 

DOnt sweat the 2 screws, they only keep the brake rotor aligned when you have the tire off. If the wheels dont sit flush cause of the screws, toss em. Had to do the same thing on my racecar.

 

Do you mean rear 'drums' . and you'd better hustle and get some lug/bolts or whatever, if you have to drill out the rest of the 'stud/bolt' get on it !! . If you have drums
those 2 screws i think are important, the only thing i can think of, to do is where the screws 'hit' the wheels, use a large size drill/bit that is as least the same size as the screw head and make/drill relief's in the wheels. So the wheel sits flush up against the hub, or use a drimmel tool or something 'rotory'. I wouldn't worry about wheel balance @ the hubs, just outer diameters. hows that ???

 

Mark, those 2 PITA screws dont do ****. I and every other racer has reomved them from our cars, cause aftermarket wheels dont fit right otherwise. Keeping the screws? Thats dangerous ANd it dont matter drums or discs, they all have them.

 

oH MAN, and I thought I had problems
