Hi Big Foot!

I think you're wrong on no 1, my spinners are threaded as per Chucks description, ie

LH side of the car RH thread, rh side of the car LH thread.

In the UK as we drive on the left it's easy to remember "near side normal - off side odd"

Personally I give the spinners a quick whack with a mallet every time I drive the car & again when I stop (whilst the brakes are hot).

I found the six drive pegs had worked loose on the rear after the first hundred miles, I've since thread locked them back in place but will keep a careful eye on them.

Hope this helps!

Regards
