Listers.....I need some help.
I'm trying to reassemble my '60 TR3A, which has been a large pile of parts
for a long time. Just before I disassembled it (a very LONG time ago) I
remember discovering that the lug bolts on the L/H front wheel were a
different thread from those on the R/H side. The reason for this is a
mystery, but now I'm trying to straighten out the problem since I plan to
eventually use Minilite wheels (or a reasonable facsimile), and I want the
matching lug nuts to fit.
Trouble is I don't know which thread size is correct, so I don't know which
ones to replace. Therefore I'm bugging the list again....does anybody know?
Also, does anyone know the minimum thickness for a TR3A brake rotor...how
thin can you machine it?
Please contact me via my home email banjonut at verizon.net since I get the
digest form of the list.
Thanks in advance,
