    Could a machine shop enlarge the mounting recesses on a VC? I wouldn’t try to go from an 18mm to a 25mm, but it looks like there is enough material to go from 22 to 25.

    Everybody is ok – sorry it wasn’t to be melodramatic… more like crossed wires and frayed nerves leading to “tension”. I think they’re all a little bit syncro’d out for the moment so we might have to look stuff up in etka ourselves for a little while.

    god it better only be a little while – I’m halfway through building a car…(allegedly)

    Really? I guess I’m not on here often enough to detect any strife. And when I went to log back in awhile back, all my user info was gone… had to re-register, and now I’m downgraded to “newbie” status. Hmmm, guess my donation didn’t go very far… :)

    that’s a bit out of order and do apologise – I’ll have a word with chris, he normally trims the inactive members. As far as I was concerned you were a long-standing member. I did notice that you had “newbie” status but the penny didn’t drop at the time.

    Unfortunately I don’t know whether the user status can be restored, but I am looking into consolidating the less active sections of the database and I think that will mean editing the database by hand so I’ll should know more about what’s possible once I’ve been through that.

    leave the vc and attack the doughnut, the lugs do press out, one out about 30 seconds on a lathe and the 25mm lug could be 22mm then press it back in, but there is a possibility that the doughnut may distort a bit so care should be taken when fitting a modified one, the one in mine was a utter sod to locate

    Hey, that’s a good idea, I’ll give that a shot! Thanks!
