Wheel weight mounting brackets

Recommended Posts

Since the weights are usually found free around here, and I did not want to pay the $80.00 for a special bracket available on eBay I came up with my own design made up from strut brackets easily available at Home Depot for about $10.00 per wheel. It also works out that these are easily removable in order to remove wheel since one can remove it from front.

Looks like it would work well. My only complaint would be how far out they will protrude from the rim.

Formariz,

               Can post some pictures of the back side of the bracket?  Can you adjust the threaded rod portion so if you only have 1 plate on it won't stick out like a chariot from Ben Hur? ^_^

right now it has 2  25lbs weights on it. bracket can be adjusted so if you have smaller weights they fit inside of wheel.Bracket can me made to go another 2 inches into wheel. threaded rod will of course be cut once one decides how many weights to keep on it.
