nf,

You can probably drill a 9-bolt wheel to have 6 holes and fit a 6-hole boss? For appearances, you would want to make an aluminum cover plate with 6 holes (a ring, with about an inch-wide rim) to cover up the unused holes.

eBay sells a fair number of wheels, and I think some Mountney ones have the look you want and have 6 holes.

I have a Moto-lita 9-hole wheel that I fitted to an old boss with some handiwork. It shows the possibilities. I can send pics if you send me your email address. I'm mayfam(at)sprynet.com.

daryl I have found that a moto lita wheel fit my boss and 3 of the holes line up so I will just redill the boss with 9 holes then the redunant holes are only visable from underneath thanks for you advise
