Alan: Are you talking about your BN1 or BJ8? Bernie is talking BJ8. Why
is it that my boot will hold a 185 without removing or trimming the wood
blocks but your's, and others, can not? Was there that much difference in
boot sizes as the cars were built? That doesn't make any sense. And a
185/70 should have the same physical dimensions regardless of who builds
it, I would think. Am I missing something here?
