"Oil Canning" I love it.

I pulled one of the RFYs off to play with it and I can't get over how loose everything on the buggy is. Both front wheels had 1/8" of of play where the axle nut needed to be tightened. Is there supposed to be a spacer between the bearings? I'm using the BD heavy duty hubs. I'm assuming they weren't pressed in fully when I put them on.

The bulkhead was loose at the upper frame tube connection as well. I'm tempted to drill the holes out and weld in inserts at that connection. I believe I saw that ckau had done this. The bulkhead connection was slightly tweaked when I assembled everything. The upper bolts were off to one side, not centered in the slots cut in the bulkhead. Should I plan to try and correct this? I'm assuming this is why one of my extended tie rods measured out to be .25" longer than the other.

Lights are here but not properly mounted. Lots of updates in the next week or two..
