    Capri Laser Alloy Problem and Nyloc Nut size for 260/60 Bilstein Inserts

    Bought a Rear Disc Conversion kit 13" wheels, from PLR. When I put my alloys on they lock up on the calipers, about 3-4mm off the hub. Which alloys do I need to put on please??

    Also bought some 260/60 Bilstein inserts rom PLR and there's no top nut. Can someone tell me what size I need to buy please.

    Thanks Everyone in advance!

    Just use a 5mm spacer to save changing wheels, may require longer studs depending on what you have already fitted.

    I thought you would have gone to the Twins Steve. A lot of what PLR sells now is Rally Design.

    Didn't know that Garry! Learning all the time.

    Just got a 2.74 1st gear gearbox delivered from a company on Ebay. Originally ordered a 2.98, but sent another payment for the 2.74 with better ratios on 2nd and 3rd.

    Paid 5 weeks ago and just got it delivered today.

    Spun the first gear and it's a 3.65 1st gear. Company never answers the phone and doesn't allow messages to be left.

    Started a dispute with EBay, but really p'd off and down at the moment

    Learning all the time.

    This wouldn't be a company that supposedly supplies BGH with their kits ??

    Gearbox now sorted, correct one delivered

    Put the calipers back on with the pads in. Have to space the wheels out 15mm before they stop binding!

    Can I buy any other wheels which won't bind??

    When the pads are in the caliper sits about 5mm further out than the face of the hub.

    Help please, it's doing my head in!
