Has Anyone Seen?

Hey,
has anyone ever seen a set of hubs for 5/8 spindle ansd 1-1/4" axle with a european mount? I just remembered I have a ton of old douglas and tony bead lock wheels with tires out in my trailer that I could use on my stools. They were bought for our shifters when we ran the tony karts and I totally forgot about them(gotta love sponsors) .I have never seen or heard of any standard hubs accepting euro mount but I guess I could machine some. If anyones run across these give me a shout. Thanks

Hmmm... I would suggest going with the American Bolt Pattern...
Just my .02 cents... :blob_red:

Well what I did mike,
I turned the snout down on the american pattern hubs so it will fit in the center of the wheel and then just redrilled the wheel on american pattern centers. The snout on the american hubs is about 1.750 or inch and three quartes and the europeans are about 1.580. There was plenty of meat where I had to machine and it fit like a glove.This worked fantastic and is absolutely as true as it gets. I put a dial indicator on all 4 wheels just for giggles and BINGO!!!!!!!!!!! works like a champ and runs within .005 all the way around. I built a cool little jig out of an old hub that I simply drilled out the old threaded hole and use it as a guide to line my end mill up. Drill one hole and insert a bolt the same size as the hole(5/16") and then drill the other two. Worked out great and I have 7 sets of wheels and tires left from last years shifter sponsorship that I can do something with now. I just hated to see all those sitting in the trailer not being used
