Bearing wheels on hex hub (TT02B)

[Ridge]

Bit of a faux pas in that the wheels I’ve been waiting weeks for have arrived (54664 Hard dish) but I didn’t check the mount on them. Fronts are fine (54663) so assumed these would be the same. 
 

I can’t see there being any difference to the way the wheel is supported if I just remove the hex and attach it to the pin as the hex doesn’t ride on the bearing but perhaps I’m wrong?

On the DB01 manual I notice there's a small cone washer behind the pin (between the outer hub bearing and the cross-pin). I'm not sure what difference that will make, since it's likely the axle length is different on the DB01 anyway.

What you want to make sure of is that there's not too much lateral movement once that lock nut is tightened-up. I suspect there could be, but should be able to remedy it with some washers / shims.

The other problem might be if the larger rear uprights on the TT02B clash with the 'webbing' support behind the wheel itself.

I do have it shimmed, I did notice that if you put too many shims in it binds so if it feels free it may be ok. The wheel is much thicker at the mounting do hopefully that’ll make up the space the hex takes. I’m running one wheel with a glued in hex at the moment, I can’t think of it being any different to that. We’ll soon see I guess!!

Tried them on the car, to make it work I’d need to open up the hole on the wheel to allow the pin to slot in. Also seems the front wheels use a smaller hex so all in all that didn’t go too well!! They seem fairly rare so probably best to sell them on rather than attempt to modify  

I’ll order some DF03 wheels then!!!
