KNOCK Off Wheel update
Well after a few hours of racking our brains. Dee Walters and I have come up with the following conclusion.
1. The lugs holding the adapter look like they came loose. (Yes they where torqued properly and No I didnt use locktite)
2. It looks like four came loose and the fifth couldnt hold the load and snapped.
The adapter looks to have two of the holes where widened out. The lugs look ok but I am not taking any chances.
The repairs. One new brake rotor, one wilwood brake hub, one new adapter from vintage wheels and new studs and lugs.
This time a little red locktite on the studs.
Plus a little chin patch work for the road rash.
Lessons learned. Check the lugs before any outing and especially on track days.
Thanks all for the replys and the few tricks on the lugs.
Special thnaks to Dee Cammer Walters for the second set of eyes and brain power.
March is coming quickly and 1037 will be back better than ever.
