wheel adapters 4.5" ford axle to 5.5" '34 wires?

i need to adapt my '35 ford wires to a maverick rear drum. 5 on 4.5" to 5 on 5.5". does anyone sell an adapter that the wire wheel fits properly? i have spacer rings already if needed.

wheeladapters.com, Fred something is the guys name. He's an old racer. You need 8" diameter to support the wheels nubs properly. One inch thick will work on early ford wires. Most adapter are thicker and most are only 7" in diameter. I thought I had an extra set but can't find them, will look a little more.

 

After you get the bolt pattern correct don't forget about the support ring (for lack of a better word) required when running early wires. They are not designed for a flat surface.

I have a set of N.O.S. (in the original boxes) 1" Eelco adapters (4-1/2" to 5-1/2") & they are 7" in diameter, rather than 5" or 6." If you get into trouble & need the extra diameter, let me know. I'm not trying to sell them, but I may be talked into it if you can't find any new stuff that will solve your problem.

 

Fearless Fred Goeske sells them. Website is wheeladapter.com

 

thanks all. i could search ebay through hundreds of adapters, but it's straight and to the point here, and the post will probably help the next guy.

 

The diameters I mentioned early were wrong. So I edited my post. Most adapters are 7" but 8" is really what's needed to support Ford wires.

 

The ones I posted the link to have the ring built in.
