Hurrah - Miss Doozie now has all 8 wheels and tires!!!
|
A couple of days ago I posted (http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2017/10/a-little-progress.html) that we thought that the lug studs which were ordered were the wrong size... turns out that the lug studs were fine but the lug nuts were incorrect... because Miss Doozie has stud piloted (or BUDD) wheels, the lug nuts have a narrower part that fits down into the wheel hole... new lug nuts were easy to obtain... |

So now Miss Doozie has her full compliment of wheels and tires!!! |
While we are here, we decided to have the folks at Henderson's do a Road Performance Assessment... that was done yesterday, and they have accomplished a lot of the work. Jimmy was able to send a part that we needed from Virginia, and another part was needed that they ordered yesterday - both are due to come in today and maybe, just maybe, we will be on our way south later today or tomorrow!
In other news... the keyboard on my laptop has problems at times that certain keys are harder to press/get a response from... yesterday and today it has been the 'r' key... so, if there are misspellings, or words that don't make sense (like, I tried typing 'there' and got 'thee' or 'tried' and got 'tied), try putting an 'r' in the word somewhere (in case I post without catching all of the typos).
