Does anyone have a 1964 volkswagen squareback 5x205mm to 5x120mm or 5x115mm adapter? I snapped off some studs on mine and they are cast into the hub. I cant find these anywhere... an help is appreciated.

I can't help you on the parts........But i Can Welcome You To Trike-Talk.....:wave4:....
A lot of the aftermarket specialty items are not available anymore. Most of the more common things are. The wheel adapter fad is mostly gone, it is more common to modify the bolt pattern of the brakes themselves. Much stronger.
While wheels that are 115 or 120 do exist.....it makes me wonder.....with your "or" statement do you mean you are unsure of what it is?
If so is it 120.65 which is chevy 4.75?
Are the stud threads metric or 7/16?

I may have what you are looking for...I just replaced my drums with disc brakes. I purchased 5 x 4.75 (chevy) pattern and dual thread studs to fit the wheels I had.
memory is faulty, and I'm too lazy to go out and measure again right now. So confirm what you are looking for, and I'll check what it is I have. We may get lucky!
EDIT: my bad, the spacers are on 4 bolt hubs from a later IRS rear end. Sorry.

Thanks for suggesting this as I was thinking the considering the same route. IF, not an issue (experts please chime in), I'd like to move away from the LUG BOLTs to LUG NUTs as more configuration options are available.
The drums are more like a cast iron and are not as malleable as the steel flanges that serrated press in studs go in.

It can be done, but with a very carefully sized hole and little crush fit. But it not the preferred way.
The preferred method is to drill and TAP the new pattern and lock tight in threaded studs.

Brake drums and rotors are readily available that already have the other bolt patterns. Much easier just to buy them if you do not have open access to a machine shop.
