where on earth do you mount the race harnesses to? the ones i have came with bolts that go through a hole in the triangular brace at the end of the harness.
the bolt has a metal (brass?) unthreaded tube on it that is removable and slides freely over the bolt.they look like this:
Harnessesso where and how is best to mount them? do i need to drill holes somewhere, make threads in those holes and bolt the screws in? what are the tubes for? do i need to weld them in? are pressure plates needed? whats the best solution?
also i was changing the alloys on the car from the 18's they came with to 15's
(ET38). i put the front left on first, went on as expected. when i took the left rear off it had 2 spacers on it, i removed them, put my new alloy on, and the stud was so long it protruded through the wheel nut forcing nut key out. the rear studs were over an inch longer than the front ones. is this normal/stock on MR2's or do you think someone has installed longer studs on the rears? i bought spigot rings for the alloys, but because i needed to use one of the spacers to effectively shorten the studs the spigots cant be used.
what exactly is the point of spigots, ive heard 2 arguements: to locate the wheel or to distribute the weight of the car from the hub over the alloy. is it ok that the wheel is only held on by the studs and not the hub?
