Ask and you shall receive. Attached below is an image of FRC2168’s custom aluminum hubs to adapt the 4”x1.5” Colson Performa wheels to the “standard” AndyMark bolt pattern with tapped 10-32 holes. They are a press fit hub. This design allows us to utilize 3/8” dead axles (grade 8 bolts).
We had zero failures thus far and have not changed the wheels since build season. We fully intend to improve on this initial design to reduce some machine time and run Colson wheels next year if they work in our design/strategy.
Feel free to ask more questions.
