Ordered some long shank, tapered wheel nuts to bolt VE/VF wheels onto my VS. The 10 inch rear rims rub on the inner guard so I had to buy some 12mm spacers leaving next to no thread to work with.

What do the spacers look like?

Bloody yank spell check.
No user laziness...99% of apps that use spell check dictionary have an aussie ver they just default to the USA one

More central locking probs today. Got out at Coles and drivers lock wasn't working. PITA because the key won't turn the barrel to lock but it will unlock. You can get it to push down with your finger but it needs to be forced. Where as the actuator has no trouble pulling it up and down. I worked out it was another broken wire. I have now decided to do away with connectors and use Jaycar solder joiners that can be soldered with a stove lighter. Wish I had done this last time I had an issue with the plug but I didn't want to drive 30mins to Jaycar. I will have to wait until after work tomorrow now and grab a pack of joiners. Hopefully this will be the last of the actuator problems once I fix it tomorrow.
