Pin drive bolts splitting Help Please

I meant: "...now popping up"

We only make one-piece 6-pin hubs that fit a GM spindle (front) and the Jag bearings (rear).

Lovely!

And what is your gap between pin drive (stud) and hole in the wheel?
Wheelcraft has 7/10mm in diameter to allow for metric and imperial PCD wheels to fit.

Is the torque transfered via the studs or the wheel clamped by the wing nut?
Or both?

I know that my mate's Can-Am has quite short pin drives to turn the wheel.
And so have various Lolas. They do, however, feature steel insert in the mags.

Less than 0.015", I hope

I suspect that after the wheel has "mated" with the mounting surface, most of the torque is taken by the flange surface. I know that if the wheel is run loose under high-torque circumstances, the pins are liable to break.

We followed the original design's dimensions pretty closely. It takes a lot to trash the holes in the wheels. I never seen it happen.
