 Topic: wd front wheel weights
Posted: 17 Jun 2012 at 7:48am |
|
I have two 16" dia. 7"center weights p/n am3684-1 how do these mount to 16" wheels on a wd that have no holes. There are 3 holes in weights and a cut out for valve stem. I have looked at j hooks may hook in at wheel cut outs not sure. Any ideas thank you.

the bolts go through the slots between the wheel center and the rim.

It also helps alot if you have the original mounting bolts. They have an off set head. Fortunately mine came with them and this helped with the mounting considerably! Good Luck!

marty I used carriage bolts and ground the head off on one side, and yes they go thru the slots of the wheel rim. Some tell me their wheels are out of balance but mine are fine, I have them on a WD and no problem in roadgear. HTH.

Same here. 1/2" carriage bolts fit into the slots on the rim rather well, then after you get all 3 started and snug, you will need to shift the weight around just a bit to get it centered before tightening. Make sure you line up the notch around the valve stem.
I use to take them off and on each time I pulled, and its just a little bit of work, but they aren't too bad.

1/2" x 3 1/2" long. I'd sure like to have a set of the original off-set head ones if anyone has some. Dave

Here's a picture of an original bolt. I think I got it off this site from one of Eldon's postings. Sorry about the size. Not computer literate enough to enlarge, I guess.

Same here, I used 1/2" x 3 1/2" carriage bolts too; I put them on with the wheel laying on the ground face up and boy do they get heavy standing them up. lol
