Absolutely none whatsoever. Don't be shy with tightening the nuts up.
Did you remove the powdercoated from the back of the wheels, where it mates to the hub?

8) you might wanna change the other 2 donuts while your there? Have fun i found the new donuts are a bit of a mare to fit. I used some longer bolts to pull the covers on with first.
Great bit of kit them Slamwerks plates are tho

Donuts are easy to fit, just don't use any lube....

That was obviously the problem then I used silicon spray

I'll probably get shot down for this but copper slip works a treat on donuts

Bit of an update............Had a rusty scab on the dogleg behind the bumper step, about the size of a 50p, well it turned out to be quite a job! Pics to follow of the work that went into fabing the new parts out of a repro (*****) panel. This is the bit cut out

All good metal now tho, loads of work to get the correct bend on the corner

This seam was looking a bit worse for wear, so that was attached and treated too 8)

The inside of the step was shocking really, glad it was done before it spread and caused more work.

Slamworks

After

Then ran out of fuel on the way home...........what a prick :lol:

 

[Bundy]

Looking very nice mate 8)
Shame about the fuel...mine goes way below the R, but I can't get it much passed 3/4 when full :lol:
