Thread bump! As I have a UR200 (not this one) thought I may jump in rather than a new thread. @Christopher

With the 25mm H&R bolt you hub spacers, is it okay to run stud and nut kit directly in to the spacer? Or better to get the longer stud and nut and slide on spacers?

Opinions welcome! Thanks

Get slide on spacers

Bolt to hub ones are dogshit and scary when they come loose! My H&R ones failed and the inserts came loose

They shouldn't come loose

I put thread lock on mine and they stayed put.

No the actual inserts that are pressed into the spacers cracked loose mate

There's steel inserts that go into the ali and they just span so you couldn't actually ever get a definitive torque

Oh ok, my bad. That's a bit s**t

Yeah

Especially when there's loads of people that have had this issue too haha. Not even s**t branded

Funny you say that, for years I've said get h&r's when asked about what I ran on my ph1 and spacers in general and then the last year or so I've read/heard that the inserts on the actual bolt to hub spacers have failed also.

 

[YorkshireKyle]

Yeah pretty common now for them to fail. Quite scary when you see how many people have had the same issue

Plus one of my inserts span when tightening it to anything over 70nm... I had a wheel come loose on the A1 on my old dCi and only just managed to get it tight enough to limp home

 

[Christopher]

Strange. I ran my H&Rs for years and they're still on there now with the current owner.

Did you torque them to spec?

 

[Inequality Street]

I've held off buying whilst I do some googling haha
