    That style of wheel was first seen on Minilites which was designed by BMC for the Mini Cooper rally cars in 1962, originally they were made from a Magnesium alloy to save weight, Minilites were also used in US TransAm racing in the 70s.

    Sarah..you might want to place some form of sealer,or two sided tape between the Body and your fiberglass Flairs..I can see light between then ...the gap will allow dirt, dust and water to splash up on your newly painted Fenders,and quarter panels.

  • @wiedapp
    @wiedapp Рік тому

    If you really want to test the contact points of the tyres in the wheel wells, you need to put something under the wheels crosswise, meaning one 4 inch thick piece of solid wood or something like that beneath, for example the front left AND the rear right at the same time.
    That way you get the maximum travel of the suspension to inspect the points of contact.
    For our German TÜV that's a mandatory procedure to get an aftermarket suspension approved to the registration papers. (Without that you drive without insurance coverage and that is illegal around here.)

    3:00 - no Sarah, that spacer is not acceptable. Not for any of the reasons you countered, but because it is not Hub-Centric spacer, with the correct mount that fits in to the center of the wheel and carries the loads, and transfers them directly to the hub. That unit you held up is carrying the loads on the wheel studs, which is what causes studs to shear off over rough surfaces. Without the hub carrying the loads, you're relying on the friction between the vertical surfaces to support it, with the friction generated by the clamping forces, that in turn can lead to stretched over tightened studs and nuts.

    Actually, the John Cooper Works Rose Petals followed by the Minilites came out pre-1962 that was the original OG of that design the Panasports, and all those others came later they were clones. Prior to that were the Cooper Bannana-spoke magnesium wheels in 1956.

    Hi Sarah! I think this is only the second time I've commented on one of your videos. I absolutely love this project and I think you and I have parallel ideologies when it comes to car stuff. Anyway! I hate to point out mistakes and this isn't exactly a mistake, but a bit of pedantry. Yes, Watanabes were the first of their kind...for Japan. But, they're based on the Minilite, from England. Some would say they're a copy, but whatever, I like all the "derivatives" of the Minilite, including Wats, of course. Minilites were developed in the late 50s specifically for racing Minis, and were valued for their light weight, strength, and brake cooling ability...so much so that they became in demand for other applications. They're my favorite wheel of all time. I actually have a set of real Minilites on my 2002 Civic Si EP3 as a little nod to its Anglo-Nipon heritage (the car was built in Swindon, England). Keep up the excellent work! You're pretty much my favorite gearhead UA-camr! 😸👍
