The mock-up wheels I bought are 5 lug on 5” pattern.
I plan to run 4-lug for the final iteration, so I couldn’t use my 4-lug hubs I have in order to attach to my wheels. I want to work on getting this to be a roller, so I’ll need to get the wheels mounted to the chassis and rollable.
I didn’t want to buy 5-lug hubs for this because they would only be temporary, and I didn’t want to make 4-lug to 5-lug adapters because then the extra width of those would have to be compensated into the design and then subtracted out later.
So instead I modeled 5-lug dummy spindle hubs and printed them out. These are the same width from Wheel-Mounting-Surface to where the hub will meet the spindle, as the 4-lug hubs I’m going to be using (1 7/8”) so these can be used as an exact substitute for the 4-lug hubs during mock-up, until I get my 4-lug wheels.
Anyways, to the hubs.
Modeled and printed some castle nuts. It’s a 28mm thread diameter (real close to 1 1/8”)
