So, anyone want to represent the CW contingent?
This was just a random Q that popped into my head while I was @ the hardware store getting a couple M6 bolts... -pt |

See, the question came up b/c I stripped the cockpit down to metal, then coated it w/Chassis Saver (POR-15 substitute, but 1/2 price). I didn't like the flat head screwdriver topped M6 screws that hold the throttle pedal down so I shuffled myself off to my local hardware store & bought 2 similar length hex head bolts. While there, I wondered about washers - there's plenty of spare washers around the garage that I'm happy to use but wondered how far some people's eccentricities go?
I'd be willing to bet that 99% of people don't notice the difference between a metric vs sae washer once it's installed in the car. The CW crowd seems to be in that other 1%... btw, this car could never and will never be CW status, nor do I have any ambition to join that crowd (not that I don't appreciate their passion). -pt and for your viewing pleasure, here's some pics...    |
