debushau Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 I bought a Momo wheel from Caterham with a standard boss recently. Bought it from Caterham by mail order under the erroneous assumption that it would be pre-drilled - otherwise I could have saved myself a few by getting it elsewhere. Now that I have the wheel I am wondering what's the best way of determining the wheel's centre and ensuring that I don't mess up the drilling. I imagine a drill press would be wiser that a hand held. Is it good practice to put washers under the screw heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Beaumont Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 When I did this to my DT supplied Momo, there was a very shallow punch mark on the rear, done before the anodising, so it was black all over. I spent forever getting the 3 holes marked properly, then used a drill press and fitted countersunk bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I reply to every thread Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 James Whiting has a Jig. I'm sure he'd drill it for you for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom7 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I seem to recall James Whiting charges £5 a hole +VAT Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 That sounds more like a Golf wager. Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debushau Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 I took a look at the wheel and noticed that little dimple. That should do the trick in helping to line it up. Countersunk bolts a good idea. Santa just needs to bring me a drill press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
