Dutton Kit Cars and their owners

Today I have written a 'remaining jobs' list just for fun.

Fuel tank and pipe to pump.

Radiator brackets and top hose.

Sender units and coil mounting.

Washer bottle and plumbing.

Check all brake pipe unions

Longer wheel studs all round

Identify and terminate all the wires under the dash

Finish back door shut glassing up.(my 'wet weather' job)

Battery mounts and cables

Exhaust (awaiting parts)

That should keep me busy for a day or two.

My wheels are 6 1/2 x 15 et15 and they needed 24 mm spacers to clear the chassis at the back and 20mm at the front. I have used hubcentric bolt on spacers. I had issues with the extended stud type (the ones that have a nut built onto the stud that screw onto the original) and with the long stud they don't locate centrally unless you are really lucky. I just won a set of wheels on ebay for the Sierra and I think I am going to have to spacer those a little too.

Comment by Big Vern on August 12, 2012 at 9:01: Depends how long the studs are? Should be able to change studs without knocking off the bearing but if they're too long then the halfshaft will have to come out. I have done them in situ for 1" wide spacers. Use a 1/2 " drive socket as a spacer to help pull the new ones in.
