    Shredding Chrome Wheels

    A few questions and answers about chrome peeling I pulled off the net with a google search: We are having sporatic problems with the chrome peeling off of aluminum auto wheels. I have been told that the brake dust from the disk brake pads can cause it if the dust is allowed to stay on the wheel...

    Tranny question: Reverse grind

    Double clutching is simply depressing the clutch while the vehicle is in gear, shifting to neutral, releasing the clutch, depressing the clutch, shifting into your desired gear, and releasing the clutch. If you've ever driven a farm tractor, you have to do this to downshift in a situation where...

    Wheels: to paint or not to paint?

    I think I'll just paint inside the recesses then. The silver definately isn't oxidation though. I just saw several different brand new chrome plated aluminum factory wheels in a display rack at the international auto show that were silver painted on the backs and on the round that will be hidden...

    space saver spare for 96-99?

    Thanks Willie, that's exactly the info I'm looking for. I've seen various 96-99 slos with the 15" Uniroyal hideaway. I'll look for a 16" version at the wreckers from a same bolt pattern Ford/Lincoln/Merc because you won't find any SHO's at the wreckers in my town.

    space saver spare for 96-99?

    It's missing! I see the 2000+ SLO's have 16" space savers made by Goodyear. They're readily available at the wreckers, but for authenticity, is it the same as was used on the SHO? If you guys could reply with your year, brand and sidewall specs then I could be sure of getting the correct(from a...

    Front bumper cover body color license plate mounting base attachment?

    Some V8 SHO have them, some don't. Maybe it's based on DSO code, or maybe they weren't factory, but dealer installed where law requires a front plate. Anyway, I'm hoping to find out what is the correct, original hardware to use to attach it? 4 Plastic rivets, 4 self tapping hex head screws with...
