I've definitely seen stripped out lug bolt holes due to something being thicker than stock so that the bolts did not get full purchase in the hole. Those holes are less than 1 diameter thick, so there's really nothing to spare. Does anyone know where to buy somewhat longer spherical collar bolts? -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
