Easy and worth it. It's been crazy for me with school and work, but I hope that I can eventually get the front wheel done too!

Thumbs up velcro

Another great idea I can rip off! I bought magnets from Radio Shack last night for the very same purpose and your post gives me another option.--------- Some who follow the auto industry claim that future autos will be assembled with a velcro form of fastener.You got the jump on 'em! Appreciate the info,thanks!

So... if cars are going to be assembled by velcro-type fasteners, I wonder what we'll use for head bolts? LOL.

I can imagine my plastic wheels going through water and the velcro holding them on getting water loogged Weeee!!! There she goes! Now I've got a 3 wheeler!!

(All in good fun, I say.)

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.

Baling wire, of course! Duct tape and velcro won't take the high temperatures.
