Adapter plate for what? The Di to MT75? They are the most common one around and you should get one easily from a scrappie for a tenner :D

Just go to a decent engineer, like I said in another post.....take a front hub and the wheel you want to fit and I'm sure they can be made.

twas me who was quoted £60, you will need a rotary table and a vertical miller to make them (and a bit of machining experiance) the fronts will redrill - ive yet to see a pic of mk3/4/5's redrilled but i know it's been done, the rears is easyer to make adapters, have a good read of my tech how too there is a drawing in there copy it and take it to a machinists next time your near civilisation and they should be able to quote you from the drawing :D

He may not answer straight away as he doesn't have an internet connection at home he has to use anothers.
But since he already posted his phone number on here for all to see, call him on 07851180127...his name is Craig.
