I have a Rob Storr kit with jimny calipers and a transfer drum, I'd swap the transfer drum out for something that works better if I could do so easily and cheaply as it isnt the best, but my speedo sensor reads from castellations milled into the outside of the drum.

First off the photos 3 to 8 are of my jimny on my drive:) , but before that Rob of MZ came and fitted the kit for me and then I was left to finish of so to speak put wheels on and stuff, It was when putting the my ALLOY wheels back on thats when I noticed not that much thread sticking out. I was'nt too happy about fitting the wheels and driving the car until it was sorted. Got intouch with Rob and we sorted it pretty quick.

So I think thats why the lads at MZ put that IN about the wheel thickness, ME speaking now, IF the nut goes on all the threads fully you should'nt have probs, but IF after putting wheels on, the threads only go on a couple of threads use common sence and and dont drive on them.

Had them on a good while now, and the handbrake .........I've got one now.............I did'nt for years with drums lol.

I could do with new calipers really now as the left one catches, It only get driven about 15 to 20 times a year so things get sticking abit:blush:

Hope that clears things somewhat, but get in touch with Rob or Dunk at MZ

Thanks mate. I'm hoping that the wheels will go on!:) Cant wait to get them on now! Just waiting on some brake fittings and a caliper carrier to turn up!

Thats good to know. :) I'm really hoping they will fit!!! Unfortunatly I have no idea what brand they are but they look like they will fit!:)

I guess I'll just find out when I fit the conversion! If they dont then I'll have to borrow a car from work till I get new studs!B)
