This issue also exists if the lug bolt is to long going thru the drum. On the 4 lug the holes aren't located over all th...

installing 14 mm wheel studs in vw brake drums

Ok so the 37/64" drill bit was the right call, the 9/16" still left it real difficult to get the stud in. I had to grind down the head of the stud some but it still wasn't enough to clear the spring retainer cups. I am now having a buddy from work with a lathe take the head of the studs do...

New PRP seats

I just got off the phone with Jessie @ PRP seats and placed my order for a new set of roadster series seats and slider mounts to go into my manx. Thanks to Sand Manx and the gift certificate donated by PRP, previously won @ a manx club run raffle. I can't wait to receive them and get them installed.
