[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 100486, member: 302"] Eddy, I am not sure whether you are requesting photos to make it easier for yourself to visualise or for the benefit of all, but all Marcus does is to drill out the aluminium hub holes, either 5 or 10 hole hubs, then tap and helicoil those holes back to the original thread form and size as the standard hub bolts, but you will not use the standard bolts with eccentric heads, instead you use socket cap head bolts inside the brake drums and screw them into your newly installed helicoils fitted to the aluminium hubs, thereby doing away with either 5 or 10 nuts completely, that is your weight saving, plus I suppose a little shorter bolts as they only need to engage with helicoil, also seems that for safety Marcus wire locks the socket cap head bolts inside the brake drum, I think I will stick with 5 bolt hubs and nylock nuts, oh yes and sore knuckles!
