[DeTomaso] ZF ACORN NUTS

[LEVITT1946 at aol.com]

Only at the stud at 10:00 I used a washer ....the original nut  and 
finished it off with a beautiful chrome acorn nut . The restoration  shop that put 
the acorn nut on tightened the acorn nut until the stud turned and  went 
further into the ZF causing the reverse issue.

leak a  drop.
