Wheel Bolt Specs
Wheel Bolt Specs
(OP)
I am looking for more information on wheel bolts, the kind with the 90 degree taper under the head for bolting a rim onto a hub. I cannot find these in Machinery's Handbook. I did find one drawing from a supplier on the internet but I need to design the matching chamfer in a machined hub I'm making. Can anyone point me to a resource that would have the general specs on these wheel bolts?

Lots of alternatives---redrill the wheels? Change the hubs and redrill the drums? I don't know exactly what you are doing, but it sounds to me like whatever you end up with using an adapter as you describe will be considerably weaker than what you have now.

That is a good link but alas I need Imperial sizes, not metric. Also my hubs have 90 deg. cones whereas as near as I can figure, the metric's are all 60 deg.
Thanks anyway,

Try a shop that deals with forklift parts. I repair forklift wheels and you have to use a rotary table or x,y moves on a mill to place the holes accurately. The holes are usually only .015" oversize.
