About to start a new car build and bitten by the authenticity bug.
I'm looking for some advice on knock-ons which are far more common your side of the lake than here in the UK.

Can anyone tell me whether its possible to fit a 6 pin knock-on wheel onto a jaguar (5 stud) hub (front and rear, same pcd though).

I found a thread that looked like ERA did something, but looks like a bespoke or replacement hub assembly (big $$$?), maybe only for the rears. Unfortunately i didnt understand everything that was written there by someone who seemed to have solved the problem with FIA wheels.

Hope you can help.

Kevin,

Welcome to Club Cobra!

As you know, Simon Finlay makes a replacement Jag hub for the pin drive rims. The ones he has made so far are 5 pin to fit the common wheel. But, his design seems like he could make 6 pin, 4 1/4" bolt diameter (or as needed) just as easily. The Simon hub is on the left; notice how it is shorther than the adapter system on the right, thus "narrowing" the front track an inch or more per side. (Needed for Jag-based kits.)


Then you could get 6-pin Vintage Wheels for the "all original" style setup.

Just an idea,

Larry
