KO wheel drive peg dimension please

[ericbushby]

Hello,
Does anybody know the correct PCD of the five drive pegs on the Elan knock off hubs.
I am looking into making a jig to firmly clamp the wheel centre with a view to straightening a buckled wheel.
It is early days yet, and a friend and myself are just running through some ideas.
Hope you can help

Hi Eric,
I made some spares from old rotoflex bolts that I had, (shoulders are the same size).
Just a thought, as you might have some.

Kev,
Thanks, but it is not the pin diameter I want, but the Pitch Circle Diameter on which the pins are fixed.
It is about 5 1/2" and difficult to measure accurately.
Cheers Eric

The PCD for the standard Elan 5 peg hub is 5.500 inch.

You can calculate this from the dimension S between adjacent peg centers and applying the formula (for a 5 peg configuration) PCD = S/.5878

The 5.500 inch is accurate to .001 as measured off my original S4 hub.

Eric, look at my post on 12th Nov 2013, I think my sketch gives the dimensions you need.

Sorry Eric, should have read more than the heading

Thanks one owner and Richard, that is just what I wanted.
If I have a part made up I can now be sure of the correct dimension.
Obviously it has all been done and said before, but I have to admit that I did not look for it.
This has not got past the paper and pencil stage yet and if anything comes of it I will let you know.
Cheers

Eric,
You sound like a man on a mission, best of luck with getting that wheel sorted

Thanks Rob, but it was Alan our tame engineer in the club who started it but it is early days yet.
Cheers, Eric
