Fitted my new wheels and looks like the studs from the adaptors have screwed straight through into the hub behind causing it to crack.

WTF should I do?
Is this going to lead to a catastrophic failure and my wheel flying off? Is this part going to available from a scrappy? I appreciate I'll need to amend my adapter design to prevent this from happening again :-/
-
Looks like just the disc that's cracked, and they also look past their best anyway so no big deal.
-
Phew. Sweet cheers
-
AS Dave mentioned looks like the disc as cracked
-
What is worrying is that I don't know my disc from my hub haha :congrats:
-
Whats with the lip on the 3 top holes on the disc that are not used as bolt holes! Looks like there's a lip on them.

That's where my studs from my adapters have screwed through too far. They're too long so need to be cut down
-
surely the adapters should bolt to the original bot holes not them holes? them holes aren't threaded
-
Adapters will bolt onto the original threaded holes, then the adapters will have a threaded 5 stud pattern in them for the wheel to bolt onto. Lokks like the wheel bolts that are too long.
