There wasn't anything definitive I could find anywhere that stated this information. Many stated the pattern was 5x4.5, including the Detroit based outfit that fabricated my wheels. Soon after getting my wheels back from fab., then off for powder coating I realized they are 5x4.75 Posted on: 2019/4/23 0:37

I realize I need to adjust the stat wheel but can't figure out how even after ready the service manual which says to "remove the adjusting hole covers From the backing plate" but don't know which bolts to remove to do so. Any help in getting this hub off is greatly appreciated!!! Posted on: 2019/4/25 10:13

Most of the times, the cover is missing. If not, it either a sheetmetal or rubber plug that just snaps into the hole to help keep water and debris out. The hole is just a bit bigger than the end of the brake spoon. Posted on: 2019/4/25 10:19

I've been searching through but haven't come Across it yet but, while doing so I found a link you posted for Light bulbs to be used after a 12v conversion - the link was dead and I'm wondering if you recall where the link led to? I am soon doing a 12v conversion and this would help a bunch, thanks! Posted on: 2019/4/25 15:14

I did it once and regretted it so be sure to really research it. As for bulbs, a Google search will pull up lots of sources, Posted on: 2019/4/25 16:20

I LOVE that my 37 is on 12v. this is obviously not going to be a concours car (even saying that I went to one with the 12v conversion and got 2nd place). Posted on: 2019/4/25 17:21
