Re: Clamping wheel hubs
hmm. 6 bolts... torqued down to 30-40ft/lbs. it should work......... i think.
to improve chances of sucess: *if you roughing up the aluminum, maybe make small ridges in it with a drimel or similar tool so that it can realy grip the plasitc it should work. *some super grippy rubber inbetween the aluminum and the plastic might help *silicon gasket material, waterproof cauk, or just plain epoxy would make it a great deal stronger *an alternitive to adhesive is to drill about 50-100 small holes ( VERY small ) in the aluminum where it will contact the plastic. that way when the tourqe is aplied the plastic will sqeeze into the holes and make it grip a lot better. and for torquing the bolts.... there IS a right way to do this. say there aranged like this: **1*2** *3***4* **5*6** you first hand tighen them all. then tourqe #1, #6, #4, #3, #2, #5. its almost like a head gasket. hope this helps... |
