I bought these a couple of years ago when i was thinking about building my buggy. Now its time use them. I was wondering if these will be strong enough. As you can see they are a 2 piece design. 1/2" thick, each piece. The piece that bolts onto the 4 lug piece uses six 9.6mm SCREWS. I don't know what grade. They were made by a company that makes custom adapters. The adapters are for a 5 on 5 1/2 pattern. Ford, CJ and Dodge....I think . Lets hear some opinions.

The only area of concern would be the six screws. But very cool looking setup.

I have been studying this design and calculated the area of steel used by the factory 4 lugs verses the area of the six screws. If my calculations are correct the six screws have more area than the 4 lugs do. If this is correct, this makes the screws a little stronger than the studs given that metal used is the proper grade. Can anybody confirm my theory?

Hello fabricators. Any more opinions ? I can always have

Even thought there is more thread surface the smaller diameter screws do not have the holding strength as the larger diameter studs. Personally I would put the screws in and weld the plates together.

Thanks Ody. That's a good idea. Maybe tack welds so if I need to remove them on the trail I can use a hacksaw.
