Paul White Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 My project for changing from an Ital to a Ford 'English' rear axle is well under way except I don't have any wheels! 😳 Apparently the De-dion ones fit OK  I need 2 rear wheels for Road use and also another 2 for track use (the fronts still have Ital fitments) to match existing silver minilites preferably 6 or 6.5 J. Also, I will end up with a spare set of Ital Minilites.       Multi-coloured Beaulieu 1.8(now 2.0), see wraps Edited by - Paul white on 21 Aug 2006 13:01:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham bass Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Paul just be aware and based on my experience with mine you may also need spacers on the back if you try and fit minotaurs (think that's how you spell it?) as the machined recess in the back of the wheel isn't deep enough to accept the machined flange on the centre of the half shaft (the bit that protrudes through the drum) unless that is you're installing a modified axle? The revolutions I had were ok though and I can't vouch for other minilite styled wheels From memory I fitted 5mm so they're not spacers in the true sense of the word just thick shims. I also ended up changing the studs as well as there wasn't enough thread, again not a problem with sleeved nuts on revolution wheels.

elie boone Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I would be intrested in swapping a DD set of wheels for Ital wheels, only i am over in Belgium but if you are not in a hurry or living in the south it could be arranged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul White Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hi Ellie, Belgium? Sounds like a good excuse for a beer run! I have a couple of other avenues, a bit closer to home, to follow up; if one of these don't happen I'll be in touch. Paul.

alextangent Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Just saw this after posting in Wanted; are your Ital PCD minilites up for sale? Any idea of price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul White Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yes I will have a set to sell; I have 2 sets at the moment, one for road & one for track, so once I've got a set of Ford ones (2 rears for road, 2 rears for track) I'll have a set spare - I'm sure I could have put that more simply! I need to get the Ford ones first so that I can swap the tyres about and see which set I'm keeping (one is silver the other gunmetal). I think the price will be guided on what I end up paying for the Ford wheels. Paul.  Edited by - Paul White on 4 Sep 2006 14:00:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Paul, You could say you need to come overhere to get chocolats and get some beer in the same time. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul White Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Sorry Ellie, have now bought a set of four wheels & tyres. Alex, I will have a set of minilites to sell once I have swapped tyres, Circa £100 if you're interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
