Re: [VAL] Lug bolt triumph
Oh I am stung ! No, all the right tools will be in the truck before I
take off. Although it's tempting.....
Airstream sent the lugbolts over night delivery and the wheels are now
on the trailer !
The guys didn't like the bolts, they wanted a more extended bolt so they
could get a better grip on them with the socket. But they are on and I
drove around for a while and they're still on and tight.
I will have to go get a thin walled socket to match and probably a
proper breaker bar.
The wheels look TERRIFIC !!!. What a difference from the dirty black
ones with no hubcaps !
Now, about the cup in the center. I wonder why they didn't send me those
too.. didnt ask I guess. So I polished up the hub covers. They look like
they were chromed once upon a time. Should I get new ones?
Wait til you see!
