Tim,
How about this? Take an old splined hub adapter and pass it through the wh=
eel locking it in place with a knockoff which had been bored to the same di=
ameter of the balance machine shaft. Will this leave you enough shaft leng=
th to hold the wheel/hub assembly on the balance machine? The bored hole i=
n the knockoff will center the wheel in the machine and the back of the hub=
adapter will square the assembly on the machine. Will this be good enough=
?
Jack
