Dave, did you end up running spacers for the wheels?

If you did, did you change the wheel studs for longer ones?

I have seen a lot of fresh powder coated wheels before, even have a set myself, and i have never seen anyone re coat the hub surface.

Had 5 mm on the fronts and there was enough thread (was told 4 or 5 turns was OK) none on rear.

While I was waiting for the tow truck i checked out the other nuts and other front all were loose :oops: by loose i mean i could have undone em there 7 then..........rears were also looser than they should have been.

Another lesson learnt though.......

Buddy Club guys were top notch............think if I'd had had a spare set off lower ssuspension aarms to hand they'd have fitted them for me !!.

the effective function of a thread is 1.5 x Diameter (in steel). so if its a 10mm bolt you should have 15mm of engagement.

Was great to see all the Time attack cars again, Dave so gutted for you, but as said above it could have been a lot worse/

Track time was fun... wish it had been longer..
