New Bolt On wheel ADAPTERS for FMTV (MTV/LMTV) & 5 TON COMBAT rims
Just made my first batch of "MULTI-FIT" wheel adapters for the MULTI-FUEL (and those other deuces with the yellow under the hood
).
This is a bolt on adapter that will fit the following rims to work on the 2.5 Ton Deuce Rockwell Axles:
- FMTV Rims aka: MTV or LMTV (have 20x, 5/8” bead lock studs, on a 17-1/2” pattern),
- 5 Ton Combat Rims, A2/Newer Style (have 10x, ¾” diameter bead lock studs on a 17-1/4” diameter pattern)
- 5 Ton Combat Rims, A1/Old Style (have 10x, 5/8” diameter bead lock studs on a 17-1/2” diameter pattern)
All 3 rims have 10 lug nut holes and an 8-3/4” center hole
These just bolt onto the rim’s outer bead lock bolts (20x for the FMTV, 10x for the 5T Combat rims).
The center of the stock wheel still needs to get cut out, which sounds daunting for some of us that don’t have a plasma cutter or torch. But to show how easy it can be done, I cut the center out of a FMTV wheel with just a standard jigsaw and a metal blade in 5 minutes. (check the next post for some pics of that process.)
The good news is that the cut is only for clearance, so it doesn’t need to be a “precision” cut, plus it gets hidden by the adapter plate.
I’ve sent out a couple sets to some people with FMTV rims to try out and report back with pictures and thoughts but here are some pics for now. I am looking for some folks to try these out on the 5 ton rims. If you are interested in that send me a PM, and we can work out a good deal.
Oh yeah, these are for "OFF ROAD USE ONLY"
