Well I fixed the knocking sound!

[Paul.M]

Now for the fun bit

Bye bye

All I wanted was to get my hair cut

:nono:

 

[Tunst]

ouch that dont look cheap

 

[Fred@BTM]

dodgy spacers/bolts, oh dear!

 

[McMillan]

Ooohh hell,

Sorry to see that

 

[Greeny.]

f**k! What are those spacers? The bolts that came with my Delta Mic hubcentrics where complete piss, JD on here and djroberts both snapped theirs so I changed mine straight away for a decent set.

 

[OneTime_]

Wow, unlucky. Looks expensive

They're delta mic ones aswell
pretty gutted I should have changed them aswell if i'd have thought about it

my own fault tbh just a bit gutted

 

[Inferno]

That's not good. Feel for you mate, hope you get it sorted soon.

Did you get your hair cut?

 

[Paul.M]

I didnt even make it through the door no
luckily got my parcel sent off first though so not all bad

 

[Inferno]

You're taking it well - I'd be in tears tbh!

 

[Harpham]

sh*ttttt... what size spacers did you have on?

ive got 10mm ones on my rear wheels and just put the normal bolts in... got me worried now lol

 

[Ben]

Ah man thats s**t, any ideas on how much its gonna cost?

 

[Paul.M]

got to have a sense of humour about it im gutted but makes you feel a bit better if you can look at it as not being that bad (he says)

sh*ttttt... what size spacers did you have on?

they were 25 mm hubcentric ones they'll be coming striaght off I know that

 

[theduck]

Thats shocking! Spacer looks like its started to rub away to...

 

[Triki]

Gutted for you, could have been a sh1t load worse though.

Not a fan of spacers tbh

 

[Greeny.]

Thought all 25mm hubcentrics should bolt to the hub tbh, I know my 15mm's dont but i dont think any 15's do. I know djroberts 25mm's bolt to the hub. Just DONT USE THE DELTA MIC WHEEL BOLTS!!!!!!!!!!

The bolts failed not the spacers, plus the 25mm ones are meant to bolt to the hub im sure, hence the extra holes?! Plus he had knocking so if they where bolted to the hub maybe one of the bolts had already snapped hense making the marks on the middle of the spacers?!

 

[richy22]

What he said! Danny had the same problem.

PS Dan exhaust sorted ok??

No its a f**king nightmare and costing me an arm and a leg, not happy.

 

[iimushroomzii]

f**k! Unlucky mate!

 

[Marky_]

Pisser

At least you weren't going quickly.

 

[Chris205]

must have been pretty scary that,

One of the reasons im put off by spacers

Bad luck, lesson learnt though but a bit late

the original renault bolts were still safely bolted to the spacer all came off as one
the delta mic ones however were the ones that failed
they should change their name to "takes the mic"

 

[AK]

f**k mate, gutted!

 

[Paul.M]

On the plus side just been down again and got my haircut

a long scratch in the road though

 

[Marky_]

Bus?

 

[Greeny.]

Ah right, well the spacers are fine, the bolts however are a joke. I rounded one of mine when I first removed a wheel so ordered some replacements

 

[Sam]

Should switch to wheel studs. So much stronger.

But glad your ok matey. Could of been nasty at speed!

 

[Paul.M]

Bus?

yeah

got insurance sorted on my old 1.2 now though so in that again

 

[rctempire]

Doesnt look good.

Sorry to hear about this. Must have been a brown pants moment.

 

[DamoWales]

I just got 25mm spacers!

What do i need to fit them best? studs or?

 

[st3ve]

Jesus Paul, I know where that is aswell, you must have been well embarrased and most likely a long cue of cars behind you.

Let this be your lesson though Paul, never buy cheap!

Shame to see this though I hope you get it fixed soon.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Fook me not good likes.

 

[Charlie.]

Just fitted the same spacers yesterday :|

Anyone know of some super dooper strong bolts?

 

[Washington]

whoopsadaisy

you should have seen the backlog
embarrasing isnt the word lol I just went for the 3 pounds hair cut now its looking not so cheap

 

[st3ve]

I can imagine, the traffic is bad enough without clios dropping their wheels lol.

Giz a shout if you need a lift innit. I live about 2 minutes from there.

Have you got a damage report yet?

 

[Jason_E]

Holy s**t! Wasnt expecting that!

Ouchies. Well whats that a new wing plus respray and new disks. I'm gunna hazard a guess that new spacers are required? Could have been ALOT worse, quite lucky it happened at low speeds!
