Sure. One thing these kids may not remember is how to handle inner tubes.
Another is wheel balance. There is a good picture in the Vicky Brit catalog
on the correct way to fixture the wheel to be balanced. I suggest you take
that with you and make sure they know what they are doing. Either that, or
have Brian Erickson at JAC in Anoka balance them. Call him first at
421-2705. Not sure what the Anoka area code is, used to be 612. There is
nobody I trust with wheel balance more than Brian, and he knows British
cars.
