100 - 110 lbf ft
or

I got confused by the photo as it shows MG wheels.. i had forgotten about the initial thread.. oh well of to build my wiring loom!

[samuria]

the wheels are off a mgf.

[bmcecosse]

Yes - the MGF wheels look great on a Minor - it's the one reason I would consider going for Marina brakes !

[PSL184]

Steady on Roy - Surely you can just redrill the Moggie hubs ????

[bmcecosse]

Ohh - can I ? With my (t)rusty Black & Decker ?

I doubt there is enough 'meat' on the hubs to do that safely - and the half shafts - and the brake drums - sounds like a LOT of hard work........

[charlie_morris_minor]

would it not be easier just to "slot" the holes in the mgf wheels to fit the moggy stud pattern

( just in case anyone asks... no I am not serious! do not attempt it, it would be dangerous)

[bmcecosse]

It may be a lot safer and more practical to redrill the MGF wheels to 4" PCD! Has anyone attempted that ?
