1980's Lift Kits??? Black Wheel Bearing covers???

Waldog · 12-31-2010, 11:28 AM

I'm looking at purchasing a lift kit for my cart, but I noticed this on the product page:

Note: Please check your wheel bearing covers before ordering. These kits will work on golf carts with silver galvanized dust covers only (NOT black dust covers). For 1982-1992 Club Cars, you will need to drill 7/16" oversize holes in the upper and lower brackets of the spindle.

(I checked, I do have the black covers.)

Anyone know why it won't work? Or are they saying it will if you drill the oversize holes in the upper and lower spindle bracket???

Your hubs may have been painted!

The silver dust covers are metal, the black one's are plastic! (two different hub, spindle, and bearing sizes)
as for oversizing the holes... I don't know why!

I just checked... they were galvanized!!! Thanks! :)

I'm wanna order ASAP!!!

I guess they are not open today, I want to change the wheel / tire combo, and I wanted to speak to someone on the phone.

Once you've made up your mind to do it, it sucks to have to wait... doesn't it?
