BC - would you be willing to pay a student a small fee to weld the lock ring for you? The reason I ask is that I am constantly looking for incentives to promote improved student initiative. A little project where a student builds something and gets paid for it really starts to inspire a desire for a career. I am paying a student to work on my wheels during an after school program (with my supervision). Our students have actually been tested on pressure tight welding. There are 2 or 3 that I would trust welding my wheels. I would definatley be interested. I just don't trust my welding. |

BC, Go out to Matubba Creek Machine shop on Hwy 45 north of Aberdeen, just before you get to Lann Chemical. We have them do our metal work, and they are very reasonable. This is who I was going to get to do mine....before I started my house! Let me know what you find out. I'll try to swing by on my way out of town tomorrow . |

I ordered these last week and will be building them this afternoon. I will let you know how they go. I was very pleased with the customer service and the shipment was sent out immediately after I hung the phone up. I take it those are $195 per wheel? i.e. a "kit" is one wheel? -jim |

A kit is usually for 4 wheels containing inner and outer rings.

I finally have a pic of the one beadlock that I have built thus for. It has only taken me 3 weeks to build this one. The customer service of the place where I bought them from was fantastic, but these beadlock kits have so many bolt holes that I am going to have to take out a loan to buy all of the hardware. It has 39 holes and as you can see from the picture there is hardly any space between the washers. I am not sure why they thought so many were necessary.  |

Yeah, that is a lot of bolts. The ones I designed for WRF only had 30 holes, which is still a good bit.
