BRAWNY SOLUTION

IN YOUR October 26 issue you quote from manufacturers' questions and answers at the Fleet Management Conference Jeff Lemons' solution to wheel fixing: "Throw away your torque, wrench, take a very long bar and an 18stone fitter."
You rather spoilt it for me suggesting it was not quite a serious remark, but of the many theories and ideas which have been propounded over the last few years, this is by far the most sensible.
While I am not fortunate enough to have an 18-stone fitter in order to satisfy the formula, nevertheless my light heavy-weights, complete with a threefoot bar, have been eminently successful in preventing wheels coming adrift, a problem which seems endemic in the industry.
