Which is exactly the point, of course. They ain't never hear of 'em,
let alone know how they work!
In defense of one tire shop, I will say that at the place I got the
new tires for the Spitfire they were conscientious enough to worry
about the torque setting for such small wheel studs and do some
research to find an answer. I also found an answer on
triumphspitfire.com, about 45ft-lbs, I think. I think I'll end up
back there for the GT6. O' course, by the time I can squeeze it into
the calendar we'll probably have 6in of snow on the ground.
Yes, I did vote today, as loudly and as often as I could. Voted
right here in Massachusetts. Wondered if I could vote in Rhode
Island too, since I work there now. Nope. I couldn't swing that.
Oh well. But when I die I want to be buried in Chicago so I can
remain politically active. :-)
