Tom,
This is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!!! Don't, REPEAT, DO NOT, REVERSE
THEM!!!!!!!!
When I started racing my Alpine last year (wire wheels) I was
concerned about having them loosen under the stress of racing so I
safety wired them. What I discovered was that they tighten when
driven. (This is due to the physics of the two curved, mating surfaces
of the wheel and knockoff). If you reverse them they will loosen when
driven!
Print this and put it in your shop........
