At my age (approaching this side of 70) I am on lock down at my house.  =
I even have my groceries delivered.  I will only go out to eat at a =
drive through with an N95 mask on.  My Boston Terrier that goes with me =
does not wear one.  He refuses, but he is only three years old.  So, =
being sequestered to my domicile I have taken up the restoration of my =
BN2 with a vengeance.  I did not know I knew so many off color phrases.  =
Everything to be done on this car is difficult due to parts =
incompatibility, parts fit, parts unavailability or just  my general =
ignorance and/or incompetence.  This evening I finished mounting the =
right side front hub with all new parts.  I thought I had done a nice =
job.  No lateral play in the hub.  Turns easily without binding.  The =
correct amount of shims after much trial and error.  Disc brake =
conversion was mounted and braided stainless steel flex brake lines =
hooked up at both ends.  I have yet to run the brake lines.  Maybe next. =
  This rant is about the brand new Dayton wire wheels.  I mounted the =
wire wheels which have temporary used tires on them so I can move the =
car when it is down off the dollies.  After mounting the wheel I gave =
the two eared knockoff several pretty good whacks.  Now the moment of =
truth.  I grabbed the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock position and pulled =
straight back and forth.  Yay! No play, but when I rocked the wheel it =
moved slightly.  I thought it was the hub, but looking closely you can =
see the wire wheel hub rocking back and forth in the knockoff!  What!?!  =
How hard are you supposed to hit those knockoffs?
