Hi Bob

My plan was at the beginning to replace my 5pin wheels with some Trigo 289FIA wheels. Now they’ve not enough backspaces.

At this point I need to narrow the rear to have the wheels fitting under the fenders. Therefore my idea was to organize a new 8.8 Ford rear and have it narrowed to use it with the new wheels.

After thinking about it, why no order the new rear with some pin-drive hubs. At this way I could avoid the adapters (and at this way some trouble with the car inspection department) and use some 5 or 6pin wheels Trigo or PSE or others. (Aluminium or magnesium)

As I’m living in Switzerland the story is not so easy.
1. English is not my mother tongue
2. There is no supplier, where I could go with the car and explain the problem

But I’m sure at the end I’ll have my car running on 289FIA Pin-drive wheels.

Please check the information I added to my gallery. It can help to understand my issue!

Many thanks for your help!
