cafoose 3,448 #1 Posted May 3 Found these weights a a yard sale this morning four of them 50 lbs each I'd like to put them on my GT-14 FEL. How can I attach them? It has inside weights already. They were asking 20 each. I got all four for 50 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John2189 536 #2 Posted May 3 (edited) Drill four holes to match the lugs, add coupling nuts to the studs, either use all thread and nuts, or bolts the right length. are the bolts that hold the inside weights threaded into the hub? If you don’t have enough threads for the coupling nuts, replace them with a bit longer bolts. might have to notch the new weights for the valve stem.

Pullstart 66,595 #3 Posted May 3 Get another set of GT14 hubs and drill them through. Get longer lug bolt/studs and bolt them on inside out… then get a piece of 1-1/8” solid bar. Make it a weight rack! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,714 #5 Posted May 3 I used threaded rod from McMaster-Carr that matched the thread of the hubs to mount my inside weights. Then used truck lug nuts to hold the wheel to the hub You can get any length you need to extend the lugs to mount the weights outside of the wheel. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mounted center hole barbell weights this way, but I drilled a flat plate to match the hub bolts. Then welded a large nut centered on the plate. Screwed in the correct length all thread and fastened with an acorn nut. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
