Wasn't saying I use Costco, just that they offer nitrogen :P

It's the 20% other stuff (18% oxygen in air IIRC) that is the large cause of pressure differentials and leakage anyhoo.

Well they've arrived, and after much nonsense* they are on the car  :chicken:

I am a happy bunny. Pics tomorrow...



*A friend of mine at work - let's call him the "Smiler" - the same guy who persuaded me to a) buy a Karmann Ghia and b) do a full pan-off resto two weeks after I bought the damn thing persuaded me to do the wheels myself in the workshop at work. Cue much Chuckle brothers as half the desk jockeys flood out of their offices to get involved. Cute secretary who came by for a look had a good laugh though.
