I know that the track on the front of the xr2 is wider and part of that is
the thickness of the centre of the disk, what is the difference between the
non xr2 drums and xr2 drums .Do the xr2 drums have a thicker centre than
the others to allow wider wheels

Thanks for that Jim. So mine are 5.5" rims with inset 43.5mm. It's the tyre
size which is critical (less so the rim width). So in theory your inset
compared with mine means it's 43.5 - 35 = 8.5mm better per side, less 5mm
for half of the 195-185mm tyre width, so your tyres have 3.5mm clearance
Sorry all if you received that mega long message.
I didn't read it before i approved it.
It's deleted now so if you are reading online you won't see it.

I got the hubs bored in the machine shop at Ford Dunton and fitted Focus
studs and the correct nuts for the alloys. It's surprising how few alloy
wheels are available in 14" now, and they are mostly 43.5 offset. I'm
working on an idea!

Yes, the later Fiestas had a higher offset.
They also have larger diameter wheel nut/bolt seats so i hope you got some
special bolts and aren't using the Mk2 Fiesta ones.
Stoneleigh, i'm not sure, probably will only decide the day before depending
on weather, a lot of other stuff going on at h
Mine are 6" with 43.5. Made a schoolboy error there when I got them many
years ago, as I thought all Fiesta wheels were same offset (these are '99
fiesta) Probably confused 43.5 with 34.5!
BTW are you going to Stoneleigh?

Yep, as you say just drop one end to adjust (not a real issue, as should
rarely need to adjust). What width wheels/offset do you have?

No, just cut
No, just cut a panard rod in half, shortened it a bit, welded a threaded
boss into one end and a stud (probably cut from a 12.9 bolt) into a boss
into the other end.
And a locknut on the thread.
Thread was M12 i think, but there should be no bending force on the
adjuster, just stretch or compre
Did you make an adjusted with both a RH & LH thread? I am considering it,
but don't have enough equipment. The adjustable ones I've seen advertised
look to be a reasonable price, so if I go that route I'll just have to find
what diameter they are.
What I really need is wheels with less inset -
I made an adjustable panard rod for my 2+2 to centralise the rear wheels.
