I have one on my parts transmode that I can make available but it will be a month or so before I would have time to get it off. I also am not sure how to ship it.

Chris - I'm not sure how usable this mount is. The PO appears to have cut the studs off. He had a spare tire cover on it and had a foam pad to prevent the studs from poking through. Apparently he also cut these down to mitigate this poke through. Please see this picture:

I don't think there is enough stud left to hold an Aluminum wheel. These studs are welded on from the back.

Let me know what you think.

I looked at the transmode again today. Not only are the studs cut off but the nuts are thiner than a standard nut (CRS - I can't remember the correct name for this thin nut.)

Are you thinking of - Jam Nuts??
If Chris doesn't come up with a better offer, it might be worth his while to change out those studs.

So you guys don't think that will hold an Alcoa?

I can always make it work, just don't want to spend $$ on shipping and mods if it will cost less to have a local guy just make me one.

Yep - Jam nuts, that's what I was trying to think of.

Cris - I'll measure an Alcoa tonight and compare to steel and give you dimensions and you can decide. I'll also give you the dimension of a stud from an unbutchered carrier.

OK - thickness of Aloca wheel at center - 0.575"
steel wheel at center - 0.345"

length of chopped off stud - 0.710"
length of intact stud - 1.215

Alcoa wheel on cut down stud would leave 0.145" of stud exposed. This is 9/64", or approximately 1/8" for the lug nut. It does not appear to be a workable dimension.

It would be easy enough to drill/grind the old studs off and replace them.
