mrlmd,
The “special characters” do affect functionality.When a picture appears in a forum post, it is actually a link to the file which gets uploaded to your photo gallery.Some special characters, in particular the ampersand (“&”), have special meaning in HTML. Apparently the number sign does as well.PMOSSBERG2012-05-02 14:58:06

Roy: you lose access to the cotter pins that hold the castle nut in place. They’re tightened just so, to leave a bit of play for the bearing. Without the pin, I think they’ll loosen up, or maybe tighten up. Either way, bad, and no way to get the cotter pin in or out through the hole in the middle of the spline. That said, the 4 x 100 ready-made…[Read more]

Roy I am sure my beam has not been turned. The grub screws are still at the 45 degree angle and there are no weld or grind marks. Im pretty sure no torsion bars have been removed as it takes my 220lbs jumping on the front bumper to make the springs squat.

I think Paul is on the right track.
I changed the file name to test.jpg and it showed up fine when I edited your post to reflect the new name. Try uploading a simple file with a simple name and attach it in a post. I suspect that it has something to do with special characters in file name.I also edited the file name of the other pic you up… -

Mlrmd–re “won’t tires wear faster”?No. The lower pressure in the front is commensurate with the load on the tire–300, 350 lbs. Keeping them at 24 lbs or higher would make them wear faster in the center part of the tread. BTW, I tried to impart the same advice over on the MG forum. Those guys are mules. They’re shouting me down and saying 30-32…[Read more]

This picture in your 12:31 p.m. post, made it into your gallery:[Bob&Ray_Car_Talk_cooking_on_MG.jpg]But I see a problem when you try to include it in a forum post.When I look at your post above, the software has misinterpreted the “&” sign in the file name. And the link to the photo appears as:<… -

One time I tried I got that picture in the little box on the right side but it wouldn’t show up in the preview of the post or in the post, so I deleted the post. Every time after that I try to upload a pic I do not even see the pic in that little box, and I get that error message each time. I still have my computer link to 2 pics in the box…[Read more]

Mike, is your floor pan relatively flat and parallel to the ground? 3″ seems about right and mine is about 2-1/2″ now. Mine dropped about 3 inches when I took the leaves out (and rode softer and more controllable.) Mine had a definate up angle before but now is darn close to parallel. I’m wondering if maybe yours already has leaves remove…[Read more]
