Hi everyone

I'm shopping around for 6mm hub centric (66.1) wheels spacers 4x114.3 . I've found a place who will make them for $90 but I want to find a cheaper price. There's a lot of non - hub centric spacers around for a lot less.

Know of any good deals?

you wont buy hub centric spacers that thin, 10mm will be the thinnest you will get, and as @niZmO_Man said GKTech. At the end of the day they will set you back $100 for the set off 4. Stud centric spacers are cheap for a reason. They are illegal and more dangerous.

@Nizmo_man I tried GKTech. They only sell 10mm and thinker.

OK but GK Tech 10mm are probably the best you can do off the shelf (although you will need longer studs). If you can get 4 made for $90 that is the same as Jaminds $40 for 2.

This whole conversation is hurting my head.  For a start, we're looking for a cheaper price than $90 for 4x spacers.  Are these being used on an R31?  Because only R31 owners are that busted arse broke that $90 seems like you should be searching for a cheaper price.

Then there's the thought that you can even make a 6mm spacer that will correctly locate on the hub centre behind it AND provide an equivalent hub lip on the front side.....the chances of which are pretty much f**k all anyway.

Then we have the thought that, "no matter, I'll just carry on as if I hadn't been told that" and keep seeing if there is a way to get them made in New f**king Zealand, and then pay for them to be shipped to Australia, and still expect them to be less than the $90 price obtained locally.

Oh.  My.  f**king. God!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
