+--- Thread: Dowel holes in wheel centre (/showthread.php?tid=8453)
Dowel holes in wheel centre - Alan Osborne - 19-03-2023
I have recently acquired two 18" wheels that I intend to use on trials.
Currently, on one of the wheels the centre only has 3 plain holes for the wheel studs and no larger holes for the dowels on the brake drum.
Does anyone have any experience of machining suitable dowel holes please?
Alternatively, I could find a brake drum without dowels but feel this is non-preferred.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks Alan

I’d drill the other one to match - I think the spoke pattern allows it and get two dowelless brake drums for

Alan,
