    Always cut the windshield gasket and it will not break.

    Well, I have been having so much trouble switching from drums to disc brakes and trying to fit them to my "very nice" but unkown 3 piece front wheels that I took the leap and bought SFI front and rear wheels for the Maverick. I really like the beadlocks on the rear (like the look) but doubt that a high 9 second car really needs them, and I think I will try and run these wheels without screws to see what happens...............just hate drilling holes in brand new wheels, but really can't justify the $750 extra to put beadlocks on both rear wheels.
    Fronts are 15x3.5 with 2.25" offset and the rears are 15x12 with 4.5" offset. Should have them within a week, and I know they will fit the Aerospace brakes.
    Guess I will need to put my old wheels in the classified section.

    Yeah, I didnt find that out until after it was broke. Im so butt hurt about it. :shrug: I guess I learned a lesson. There was a few guys eyeing the car, and didnt want them to take the stuff I was trying to get so I took everything that had any value off first thing.

    Just finished replacing my valve stem seals, which in some cases were almost nonexistent, and replacing my spark plugs. :dance:
