    MK Motorsport Wheels Missing Part?

    Can any of the 8ers confirm what am I missing here? I went to put on the center cap on the wheel and the bolt tightens up but its is lose. It looks like it is missing a washer or a spacer.

    This is what I have....Can anyone confirm what I am missing here?

    Not missing anything. Bolt is too long.

    Trying to remember from the MK set I had in the past, I believe there is a spacer there but not 100%... I know not very helpful.

    Thanks Gentlemen....we knew something was off.

    Dragon, see if you have any pics of it anywhere.

    Tom,

    At your convenience, would you be so kind and see the measurements on your bolts?

    Alex

    Hmmm,
    I think I'll have to walk into the shop and fabricate some adapter/bushings.
    Conical bolt to flat landing.

    Thanks Tom, by the way I went with 295s in the rear and with Hyper's big brake kit the car looks amazing.

    MK are very similar to my FAGIX the fixing bolt looks very much identical.
    15 mm long
    8 mm 1.5 tpi
    i made a set from m10 stainless steel cap head Allen bolts, the bigger the head the better.
    turned them down to 8 mm and retreaded them,
    i also bored the cover plate to accept the head of the new bolt.
    i also made all the cover plates.

    I like this approach more than adapter-bushing.
    Way more challenge though.

    Let's take another look, with measuring sticks at high res.
    I'm now concluding these bolts (shown next) are either from a generic supplier or from another MK app.

    From Alex840...
    Conical bolt, flat landing.
    End of the tool is stamped AEL (or if you like, LAE or ELA).


    Head does not fill the well.
    Not color matched.


    And from an internet survey, same style tool, different patterns are in use...


    ...and here, what looks like a larger head and therefore the cutouts are radial deeper than above.
    Note the logo is clocked 180 from above.

    And we have 21mm.
