Hi
I got a set of Audi alloys for my type 25. To get them to fit safely. I know I'll have to lengthen the studs for the rear.
Though how do I get them to go over the bearing housing at the front. I suppose I'll have to ream the centres of alloys out.Any advice on how to do this?
thanks

Hi
I put audi's one Bill this year. I had to replace the rear studs with longer ones, took off the brake drum and hub, pressed the old ones out and then had to use a 10 ton press to get the new ones in. Front i took to a little industrial unit where there was a metal fabricator and he bored them out for about 8 quid each.
If you're norfolk way will let you know where
