    Knock off to four bolt question

    Thank you for the information. I believe this is the route I will take in the near future. My only concern is hub removal since, from what I have read, it is a difficult procedure. Mike

    Knock off to four bolt question

    The car in question is a 1967 Alpine Series V. If I were to remove the knock off hubs and replace them with used four bolt steel wheel hubs, can after market 14" or 15" wheels be used without other modifications? I am a complete novice on the issue but I have seen Alpines with beefier...

    Since Click and Clack are Retiring

    I received the car this past Saturday. It is a little rough. Currently, I am unable to drive it due to the brake issue (it doesn't) but feel confident I can resolve that easily this next weekend. I found out that it was originally Forest Green (86) and not Carnival Red (39) so I am very...

    Thank you. I have already been contacted by a member on the padded boss (and I don't even have the car yet!) so it looks as though this site is going to be a great resource for my project. Yes, it has the overdrive option. The current (soon to be former) owner of the vehicle stated that...
