I'm wondering what the appropriate replacement tire size is for a 1970 Midget with wire wheels. I have a couple of old manuals that list 145SR/13, and the car now has 155SR/13 on it. After some inter

As an engineer I've thought about this for a long, long time. How long, you ask? Well I was working in my father's garage in the early 1970's and when we would remove a thermostat he told us we had t

I have a related question- how tight do you tighten the center cap? The center of my wheel is tapered and the nut has a tapered hole, so the nut doesn't tighten down suddenly but tightens gradually.

Buy a cheap socket and turn it down. If you buy a new socket and turn it down, you lose the warranty anyway. By turn it down, I think you could do that with a bench grinder if you are careful.

LED's are sensitive to polarity, so if anyone still has a positive ground system they would have to change the wiring for the taillights.
