I'm building a strange toy here.
I need a pair of 6" wheel spacers for a 6 lug chev/toy pattern.

Being as they need to be 6" I cant just buy them, I can get 3" but I dont really want to bolt two 3"ers together.
This is a total off road situation but I still need them to be precise.
Anyone have suggestions as to who to talk to, Machine shop?

Thanks

find someone with a CNC mill, and a couple big chunks of t-6. any reason you can't find a full width axle (or is it already? that would give you like a 75" track width) you'll probabbly have to upgrade to 1/2" lug nuts from the amount of leverage a 6" spacer would give you. remember RED loctight.

Another situation I have is I need to find someone to make me 2 differant centers for a pair of steel wheels. so I have a flat surface to mount the spacers to.
I think I'll have a hell of a time keeping them tight with the types of centers that come on a steel, they dont sit flat on the hub/drum.


Know anyone that runs a CNC 78mitsu?

I know a company down in Cleveland that has a CNC mill, it's Guymon's machine in Cleveland. I take them all my parts that need CNC'ed because they're only 15 minutes away for me, but I'm sure if you call machine shops upthere, they'll know who has one. - extremely reasonable if you pay in cash -

One problem with that, how many 4wd motor homes have you seen?

Ya exactly none, they are 2wd and FIVE lug with 14" wheels.

I have two sets of dually adaptors, one for Toyota FIVE lug and one for S-10 again FIVE lug and both are 14" wheels.

Thanks for the advice just the same.
