Heavy and thick. Close to an inch if I recall. The cast alloy ones also have a tendency to crack at the bolt holes.

Will do the job if you can afford the extra width.

Pressed steel wheel adapters probably made from cheese in china.

NO.

Get some proper ones from Butty*...

I had some of butty's adaptors on my 66 and they were great, but when I spoke with him about them he said they were too expensive to produce any more so as a result he no longer made them

People must have realised their true value and build quality :cheers:
