<VV> Wood Wheel

[Larry Forman]

Hi Seth,
Many thanks.  I was thinking I might need to make something like that for 
my FIVE bolt wheel.  For $25 for the wheel, it is getting to be a very 
expensive upgrade for the initial cost.  Like a St. Bernard puppy!  LOL.

Now I know what I need next.  Cal Clark looked and said this must be the 
right one, since they only sell the one adapter.  I did not know I needed 
yet another adapter.  Unfortunately, my son LOVES that little $25 wheel, 
which will mount on the 65 red vert which he will start driving all too 
soon!  Less than one year and counting down.

Larry
