cyclones direct fit?? - CalNeedham3061.4 - 27-10-2012
Hi guys, just been and brought some cyclones. I've always wanted a set of cyclones, and my mate told me there of a gti but will be direct fit on my 1.4 meridan, i went to try one on, the holes lined up perfect, but the steel ring around the centre part of the disk brake didn't fit into the alloys
does this mean i need wheel spacers? Sorry for my lack of knowledge describing it.
cheers.

they are a direct fit, you may need to buy some flat styled bolts to secure them on though.
as long as your brakes are not bigger than 283mm they should be fine
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - Oil-burner - 27-10-2012
Should go straight on as far as I'm aware!
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - CalNeedham3061.4 - 27-10-2012
I thought they would, I push them on, got one wheel nut in, and try get another nut in diagnal but it pivets on the steel :/ I measured the centre it of the cyclone it was 65mm and on the car couldn't get a good measurement but was around the same, it just doesn't seem to push back.
I tryed a bolt in the cyclone was exact same shape and enough thread on the nut.
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - Mattcheese31 - 27-10-2012
they are straight fit . . . .but you will need the proper flat seated bolts, not sure what your problem is . . .
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - Oil-burner - 27-10-2012
Time to man up and show them some muscle I think!
Should be a direct fit to any 306!

You've had aftermarket wheels on there? Yes
Not left the spigot ring on the hub have you?
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - CalNeedham3061.4 - 27-10-2012
I'm fairly sure, I don't think I had spigots rings tbh.
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - Matt - 27-10-2012
Got any pictures? Wheels inner bore, hub, and wheel bolts. Could help us abit
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - CalNeedham3061.4 - 27-10-2012
yeah sorry pal.
cyclones direct fit?? - Jonny b - 27-10-2012
I would just clean up the hub lip and the center of the wheel, with some sandpaper, bit Of copper slip and push them badboys on
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - Matt - 27-10-2012
Yeah but a bit of sandpaper on it. Had steelies on before? Will be a build up on crap on the centre from where the steelies have no middle. I had it on mine
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - CalNeedham3061.4 - 27-10-2012
thinking about giving it ago, if i manage to get them on, does it matter that i dont have the flat wheels nuts? i have the tapered Wheel nuts.
yeah had steelies on it lol and okay mate il try it, hopefully! proper want them on.
cyclones direct fit?? - Jonny b - 27-10-2012
Yes bud it does matter otherwise the tapered bit try's to work it's way through the alloy
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - Oil-burner - 27-10-2012
You need the flat type else you'll risk pulling them through the alloy!
I had a set for sale but sold them with my cyclones!
Can pick them up easy enough tho!
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - CalNeedham3061.4 - 27-10-2012
okay cheers guys, il look out for a set
RE: cyclones direct fit?? - puglove - 27-10-2012
Donr take the risk with them nuts as it will reck the bolt holes on the clones and they will be usless for anything

RE: cyclones direct fit?? - CalNeedham3061.4 - 30-10-2012
Alright again guys, just tryed fitting an cyclone again and still no success, I took my alloy off, and sanded the hub down, sanded the cyclone part down, and even got a file out on the hub cause there were a few ridges around it, and still won't go on? I can get 2 wheel nuts in and that's it, it pivvets of the hub, it seems there's only a few mm in it, any ideas ??
Helppppp pleaseeeeee!!!!

I would just slowly wind in opposing bolts equally till it gets home! They gotta fit
