    Oh, and finally..............maybe some people don't know these exist. If you are using old steel wheels like I am "46-'48 Merc (thanks Uncle Bob for that info ) over the years the lug nut holes may have been routed out from lots of removal and retorquing. There is a product called "wheel savers" or "wheel washers" that are designed to fix that problem. They are little curved washers that fit under the lug nut (I would have said convex or concave, but I don't know which is correct ) and when you tighten down the lug nut they take up the worn out area.

    They have a secondary benefit of protecting the paint on your wheels, as the lug nut never touches the wheel. But the main purpose is to make sure your lug nuts really hold the wheel on as designed.

    just thought I would pass this along. Most old Ford vendors carry them.
