been told to re tourqe em once a month.
got some more work done today.
rebuilt the shifter,got my ing switch put togauther (dont ask me how cus i have no idea) wired up the nuetral safty and backup switch. (tested and was still good)
seems like im having to replace anything electronic lol
i could't find the emer flasher switch but found my old one off my 72 f250 back from hight school that is the same switch! got that wired up and mounted in the glovebox.

The other problem I had was that on another set, after about 2 months, they developed hairline fractures in the aluminum. I removed them, concerned that they would break and separate.

I had a set work the studs loose and begin to pull through the aluminum. These are just plain BAD BAD BAD all around.
Your talking about the a location with the highest level of force/stress in a vehicle coming from all directions at all times X 4 possible failure locations = 99.9% probablity of catastrophic failure at some point*
*Math and probability calculations sourced from by a** but are probibly not that far off.

First link shows how the studs had worked themselves loose in the spacer. they fell out by hand. The second shows how the how the loose stud allowed the lug nut to wear the hole.

At a local scca event i seen a car the spacer sheered the lugs straight off and did some damage when the wheel went flying off.If you get the rims cheap enough a wheel smith can fix the back spacing but its not cheap to have done.
