Not installed yet. They were missing most of their clips.

Should have had them welded in prior to having them powder coated.

And when they break? Then what? They will be bolted on and secured using blue loctite.

I've always found when they are bolted on they stick up in the back just a little. I've used the bolt on from w/w then had them welded on.

Took 40 years to break sitting outside in the elements. Either way the clips will work. I did not like how the wheel fit on the drum with the bolt sticking up but I only had to fix a couple on each wheel. You are replacing all so it will stick up equally all the way around. Prob be better.

Looks like that guy took some time to fit the clips. Looks like a great job.

I needed to replace the headlight pig tails. One shorted out and the other is just as old. So I went to go buy some.....they all had 16g wire! So.....I replaced the wire with 10g! I soldered the connections and then heat wrapped where needed.
