EOI: 4x140 to 5x100 bolt pattern adapters

If you can lend me one of yours I can have my TW guys quote it up in about a week, and back to you a week later. They love to copy from samples.
That said, a drawing with dimensional accuracy would be great if anyone knows where to find it. The supplier I use makes shafts for us for waterjet cutters to run at around 5000 rpm which should be sufficient for a wheel hub

I know RSR555 had one 3D printed but I've no Idea of where he got the drawing.

I have on from an Xbread kit but it has no splines as the were destroyed because they weren't case hardened.

How would you case harden the splines?

I can get case hardening done either locally or in TW. I'd be looking at 60HRC, but would need to bounce it off one of the engineers (luckily I work for a company that has a lot of material case hardened, and I also have across the road from work a company that does caravan axles with a nice sized machine shop).

One with stripped splines should be sufficient for quoting. I'd send one of mine but it'd leave me without transportation...

So how do I get it to you ?

It is in the shed rusting on a shelf.

Perhaps I could loan you one for the greater good. It would be a good option for spares.

Ok, so have you guys got together on this one yet?

If you could have the little plate that blanks out the unused holes made up as a set with the hubs I reckon this would make the sale much more appealing!

At least it would to me. I know that this plate was made specifically to fill in the unused holes without welding - something that Gee's original engineer specified in the xbread kit.

The rest IMO is easy to do for a decent DIYer with access to a local machine shop (for the likes of the larger ball joint on the front end).

My only issue with this kit is the need to build front drive shafts to accommodate the EJ hub. More a PITA than anything!

Mr Toonga is sending me his sample, I believe shipping last week from WA, but not in hand with me yet. As soon as I receive it I'll send it off for quotation.

Send me a PM if you want to borrow mine. I have the xt6 backing plates too.
I would be keen to get hold of a plate to blank/ adapt the holes to fit ej calliper hangers.

I don't want to peeve too much, but do any of you think you could start a separate thread for this reasonably unrelated stuff - and delete your posts in this thread ?

or conduct your business through PM ?

Ive not said anything for the last 3 pages as i thought eventually some-one would start a separate thread - but that has not happened

THE EOI is still open for the adapters, and anyone who got to this through GooGle will think the EOI is not on.

SO If you are looking to do something else, then I'm all for you doing it, just perhaps in a specific thread rather than this one ?

Its not too much of an effort to start up a new thread and copy your posts across, I'd do it for you but some-one may get their nose out of joint. I'll delete this post once this thread is cleaned up.

cheers

UPDATE

Thanks to dfoyl for deleting his off-topic posts in this thread- NOW if some one who wants to be responsible for it could start up another thread that would be good. Its idiotic for me to author a thread for others.

UPDATE

dfoyl has started an EOI thread here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/top ... 00-5x1143/

Sorry there has been a delay as I have been busy turning 50.

hopefully early this week in the mail.

Yeah, fair call. I suppose now days there aren't any admins or the usual forum police keeping an eye on conduct and keeping everyone in check.

Hi Henpecked, old thread I know, but wondering if you still may have 2 pairs of the 4x140 to 5x100 adapters available? If so how much including postage to postal code 2795.

Thanks
