Had to fix my new Moser axles they vibrated! Beretta

I bought some custom Moser axles to fit my Explorer 8.8 but use the Beretta wheel hub and 5x100 bolt pattern. They machined them incorrectly and basically told me to piss off when I wanted them to correct the problem. The Explorer brake pilot was too small in diameter to center the rotor, and the Beretta wheel pilot was too short with a huge radius to engage the wheel. I had a feeling it would be an issue, and they vibrated starting at about 45mph.

So unless I wanted to turn these $600 axles into $10 of scrap metal, I had to come up with a fix. I decided to lathe down the axle pilots and press on an alum tube that was 3" OD and 2" ID. Then I machined the alum to the correct diameter and length to get them to work. It took some time, but my test drive went perfectly smooth. I was happy to put a GEARHEAD DEZIGN cap on the axles and skip the stupid Moser stickers they sent.
