[DeTomaso] Gentlepeople of a certain age and flexibility

[Mike Drew]

Sean,

What kind of a wheel do you have? Most have either LeCarra or Momo, which have different bolt patterns. 

Wilkinson may have removable hubs for Momo wheels. Pantera Performance Center used to be a LeCarra distributor. Pantera Parts Connection was too. I don’t know if PIM has anything suitable—ask them?

Circle back around to me if you have a LeCarra wheel and can’t come up with a removable hub. I may be able to help…
