It's simple mate,system A uses longer wheel bolts,system B uses an adapter type spacer where you bolt the adapter to the hub and then bolt your wheel to the adapter

Post by: godsANGER on 01 March 2010, 20:28: ok, just a quick question. But can you make spaces? As my mate says he would be able to whip up some 10mm ones in the workshop at work if i had all the dimensions, or is there a reason you canâ€™t?
Thanks

They need to be balanced and made of something light weight like aluminum.
