Charlie Thank's for your great hospitality from me and my family. It's really nice to follow your project when we have seen it in live. Good luck and hope to see you again and best regards to your wife. Tomorrow i leave for Australia for 2 weeks of work, hope to find something y-block related " down under" to help me survive.

Thanks Chris, you know I will be there eventually. Bernt, you are welcome here anytime. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family. I enjoyed talking to your son and finding out he was a gear head, even if he has a rice rocket. We especially enjoyed finding out about Sweden's politics, weather, and day to day life. When you said you had to chuckle when you only had to pay $4 per gallon for gas for that big LTD rental car, remember that if you took a trip at home like you did here in California, you would have had to show your passport at least 4 times!!! It might not be to bad to pay close to $8 when you don't have far to drive.

As in Drag Racing, long bolts prevent wheels to come off of the hubs even if the bolts are loose? Ok, it does wobble a lot before it comes off and gives a signal to the driver...  With short bolts it just comes off... and then crash and learn thing  .

Seppo, I like your explanation as a reason for the long wheel studs. I learn something new everyday. Hey Mark, my reason for using them (and Tim as well), is that 1" lug nuts fully engaged on the studs (with threads left over) are required for classes over 200 mph (and I plan to go there).
