Thanks, Peter |

Thanks, Peter Yes, the lugs' heads need to fit the inets, or else you'll damage the wheels, hubs, bearings, etc. ..... if you're lucky; and if not, you may loose it on the road in hard cornering!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) sounds good... Since there is no rounded inlet, just a circular hole, I assume the lug bolt will have a cylinder shape to match the hole. Ill take a trip over to HPH tomorrow and see what rich has got. -peter |
