    IRS Pin Drive Trigo fitment problem...

    Hello all, and thank you in advance for any helpful replies. I'm assembling a pin drive width IRS and it's time to mount the wheels (15" Trigo FIAs.) When I slide the Trigo adaptor onto the new Ford Racing 5-lug kit car IRS hub, the studs are so long that the pin nuts cannot be tightened fully onto the adaptor. I have included pictures. Am I missing something here? Is a spacer required? I've seen no mention of this anywhere. I'm assuming it's operator error at this point. Ideas?

    First, you're going to want to put your brake rotors on. Also, you're going to need to grind down/cut off the non-threaded parts of the lugs.

    Thanks, Bren! Trigo gave me a phonecall which stated just that. Apologies. I appreciate it.

    I'm running a solid rear axle and getting ready to order my rear axles. What length studs are required for the pin drive adapters to work?

    I don't remember what the length needed is, but I do remember that they aren't manufactured by anyone. I checked everywhere. You have to cut them to length.
