    Not to hijak my own thread, but yeah, fun stuff. I still ski, but gave up racing a while back. Sold my Tournement ski boat for this FFR project (that was a great boat). Both Schiada's are also gone now. Had three boats going at one time, but now just down to the 24' deck boat, the wife's boat. It's the only 24' boat that turns into a 36' boat when I go to clean it. So, I still boat, still ski, still fly, still ride... If it uses gas, I pretty much still do it.
    If Brute Force doesn't work, you're not using enough of it.

    Success. My friend in AZ machined out the wheel centers to 3.065", to fit my Moser M9/Ford 9" rear end axles (that have a boss of 3.060". This measurement was with a micrometer, the original dimension mentioned at the beginning of this thread was taken with a caliper, and apparently, was .0015" off). The fit is perfect I might add. I can start to think about ordering up tires now. The engine is scheduled to show up in 6 weeks or so. Things getting exiting now.
