Just got off the phone with VB about this problem. Talked to a woman
named Pam who was aware of the problem and remembered talking to
someone recently about it. She said there should be no problem getting
a refund for the machine costs. I'm having trouble finding a machine
shop with a big enough lathe, however. A mill would work but the setup
time makes it slower and more expensive. So I am considering having
the front hubs machined, rather than all 5 wheels. Any thoughts anyone?
