Do you struggle to line your holes up when changing wheels?

Hi all, I'm a refugee from the fullfatrr forum, and I have developed with help from the chaps, an aid for getting your wheels on more easily. I have had a number made up and I'm offering them for sale to anyone interested, anywhere in the world except China!! They are priced at £34.99 including UK delivery. The original thread can be found here http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic28013.html

Hi, international deliveries, not a problem Thumbs Up , however it has been brought to my notice that Royalmail might not be the best way to send them.
I have no problem with sending them, but could do with some surgestions as to the best carrier. Royalmail and Italy are not a good combination, been suggested that UPS or DHL might be better, but then the cost goes up! I would imagine that Royalmail to Australia will be OK. It really depends on how good the postal service is in your country Thumbs Up Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer, today I are one!

I've posted modules all over the world with Royal Mail, only country that wouldn't have signed delivery was Norway for some reason, but the states, Australia, new Zealand, mainland Europe etc etc. Never sent anything to China so don't know about there. Bodsys Brake Bible

A useful tool. Only seen similar for Porsche - (at the usual silly prices for anything to do with the marque).

Even in the best conditions - on my driveway, dressed for the part and using a big trolley jack I usually pull a muscle in my back, crush a finger or two and chip my immaculately painted calipers putting the wheels back on! 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Changeing Wheels

Being an EX Heavy Goods Driver,from the days before calling out tyre companies. We used to change our own wheels. The secret was to only lift the vehicle only enough for the wheel to turn. Then when putting the spare wheel back on you didn't need to lift it to line up the studs. Just get the wheel in position then the final bit with a screwdriver to lift the fraction to get it onto the studs. I am 78Years old and still able to change a RRS 22" Wheel.

Even signed for mail simply vanishes in China. UPS/DHL or similar is the only way to send there.

Outgoing post works though.

Their postal system works though. We send there untracked; people are honest, not skint and the post works.

but the states,


They often "not receive" stuff, followed by a free Paypal refund, also stuff can be stuck in customs for weeks. USPS isn't like Royal Mail. Tracked only to the US. They howl for tracking numbers as its peanuts to do there. But not for us.

Italy likes to "not receive" stuff too. Signed for only there too.

Ask an online seller. Very Happy
