Subject: [Fot] Another Spitfire question
Things got quiet.. Thought I'd toss another grapefruit.
On the factory road cars the Spitfire and GT6 were blessed with the 3/8"
wheelstuds. Did the race cars also use them?
Was it not an issue with the non-sticky tires in the 60s and 70s?
And.. What are the Spitfire racers using these days?
As a conversation point, I got to watch my (future) autocrosser shed a wheel
at an autocross 2 years before I bought it. The PO had replaced some of the
wheel studs.. But kept using old factory lugnuts. The one I picked off of
course that day was stripped out and rusted inside. I kept that in mind
when he offered me the car in 1997. First thing I did was swap to 7/16"
studs in the rear.
Just curious about the rest of y'all.
Cheers,
Jim
Dallas
