I agree, Daniel. By safety problems, I was talking about the propensity of
the wires to work themselves loose. And then there is the problem of tuning
them--very difficult to find anyone around, especially close who even knows
what that means. I bought a brand new 1966 Big Healey with wires--loved
that car, especially the wires. But within two years I could not have my
tires balanced because of the play in the spokes and in my small town no one
knew how to tune them. But I did drive that car like I stole it. 8^)
