Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 01-06-2014
Evening all!
I've got a set of pug wheels for my HDi, but I'm having some issues with fitting.
I have a f*ck-ton of bolts, of varying lengths and styles, and some taper-to-flat-seat washers, however these are too big for the bolt holes and as such would need machining down (or I'll have to buy a set of extended, flat seat bolts)
This is fine, and I can sort that, but while I was test-fitting the wheels, I noticed that the bolt holes aren't parallel, they clearly have some degree of taper in them. Now, is this just a lead-in, or will they take tapered bolts, potentially? They have got a flat surface around the bolt holes, so they will certainly work with flat-seat bolts, but it'd make my life easier if they'd go in with tapers.
So any ideas? For example, does anyone know if there is any taper in cyclone (or any other peugeot wheels) bolt holes, or if they are completely parallel.
Cheers 'en

Which wheels are they??
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Jimbo - 01-06-2014
I think speedlines have a slight taper in tbe
them
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 01-06-2014
But they only take flat-seat bolts, yeah?
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - cully - 01-06-2014
clones only take flat seat bolts
newer clones are counterbored to take the larger sholdered bolts that are duel purpose for the steel spare which uses the taper shulder to fix them
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 01-06-2014
But the holes are parallel without a lead-in?
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - cully - 01-06-2014
take a picture lets have a look
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 01-06-2014
I tried, you can't see shite from the pictures really, it's just a hole
They're 405 Mi16 alloys, SMR jobbies. I'd like to have them on for FCS, but not going to pay over the odds to do so!

My flat seated airaines have tapered nuts in
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 01-06-2014
Orly?!
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Connor - 01-06-2014
Ya rly, only been 3/4 years in my ownership. Never had a problem. I will however be getting some adaptor washers when I put my new ones on
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 01-06-2014
Hmmmmmmmm.....very tempted to just try it out. Only problem I have is that I'll have to swap my current tyres over, so it's an all or nothing deal.

Flat seat bolts is all you need, f*ck bodging it with the wrong bolts, thats suicide.
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - mr_fish - 02-06-2014
I run the those wheels, as welshpug says flat seat bolts
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 02-06-2014
Balls, never mind then.
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - zx_volcane - 02-06-2014
Do you need a set of tapered matey?
Might be able to source a set for you ...
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 02-06-2014
Nah the problem is I have a shed load of tapered bolts, and a full set of taper-to-cyclone converter washers but they don't fit in the bolt holes of these. I have access to a lather when I get back to Birmingham, but was hoping to get them fitted while I was in Cornwall, as then I don't have to drag two sets of wheels back to brum.
So essentially, I either need a full set of extended flat seated bolts (which are $ra*e.99 on eBay) or some different conversion washers.

When I said tapered, I actually meant flat seated :p
I'll have a dig around today anyway
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 02-06-2014
Haha, okay, well I'm running 15mm spacers at the moment, so if you have anything to suit that'd be awesome! If I do come grab 'em I can lend you a hand for a bit if you do decide to rebuild your engine
RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - cully - 02-06-2014

RE: Flat Seat, Tapered or Both? - Kezzieboy - 02-06-2014
