Bruiser wheel adapters ?

[voo2doo]

Morning gents

 

I have a question to all . Can anyone tell me if I can get hold of Bruiser wheel adapters to change the three bolt wheels to 12mm standard hex's? I have a good range of tyres and wheels for MT's and scalers all with the 12mm hex hubs. I'd like to fit these to my Bruiser but am unsure if an adapter is made for them.

Can anyone help me here or if someone has done the conversion can you post pics up and tell me how its done?

Regards

Adaptors have been made, not sure what's still available though;

Cheers Twinset , I think they might make the wheels stick out a bit too far .Pity.

There's another set here, although the design looks similar, so the offset might be necessary?

Try this;

They're in the UK - looks like you'll need new shafts to minimize the track increase?

If Greens don't have them, try Martin at RC Bitz (UK again) - he might have a delivery date

These might not work, but whatever.

Be careful because those adapters widen the axles excessively. The Bruiser / Mountaineer family doesn't need further enlargement of the axles.

did you use the fixings as well as glue to attach them

[voo2doo]

Yes,  because the arches are rubber there is a fine line between tightening the small bolts and pulling them through the arches so i added the bolts after the glue had cured.

what kind of glue did you use then 

[voo2doo]

Some folk I know use rubberised super glue but I used two part epoxy resin.Then I covered my paintwork up and taped them on.
