I'm really not an expert on this at all, but I really think that a lot of Alum wheels out there use totally flat nuts/bolts.

The upset aluminum should have pushed into the bore there somewhat. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
