1" Wheel Spacer potential damage

1" Wheel Spacer potential damage

I've been reading about potential issues with scrub radius, wheel bearing stress, steering changes, etc. Wheel bearing stress gives me the most pause out of anything. My suspension components are stock and if possible I'd prefer not to have to upgrade anything. Has anyone here had serious issues after mounting these?

Canon Powershot G15 vs Nikon Coolpix P7700

Sold my Canon R8 because I'm not interested in doing anymore professional gigs and also the user experience wasn't enjoyable. So now I'm looking for something to just grab and walk around with casually.

I'd like to spend $500 or less. So far these seem like decent options, but I'm also open to other suggestions.

Any Hydra regrets?

I'm currently on 15" Deseones that came off a 780 Bertone, but I have a set of hydras that I might switch to. They would be on stock suspension. Has anyone been in a similar situation then regretted making the switch?

Horn not horning

(87 DL sedan) The visible wiring that goes from the harness to the actual horns themselves is predictably crumbly and exposed in parts. I was going to start by splicing those sections with heat shrink, so my first question is what gauge should I use? Is it a 12? Obviously stranded. I'm sorry if this is made obvious in wiring diagrams, but apparently not obvious enough for me.

Second question, if replacing these sections doesn't do it, what's another likely trouble spot?

Moldy tray of mail

It's all one zip, so supervisors are telling me to just send it to the station, but that doesn't seem right. Shop steward is also not sure. My feeling is that if someone with a mold allergy or asthma, either a station clerk or a customer, receives that it's not gonna be good.

Tail light bulb socket bonanza

87 DL sedan. I didn't know until today that there's a reason one socket is white and that it's supposed to be on the far right. Before today I just assumed the white one was a replacement for an original black socket that used to be there.

Recently the running and brake light on the left side have been dim. So I swapped the two running sockets, the white now being on the left, and the dimming issue went away, but my Kenwood stereo no longer turns on.

So I decided to look up if there was in fact a difference between the two and sure 'nuff there is. I'm wondering why the dimming issue went away when I put the white socket on the left side. And just to double check, both sockets are supposed to use the same voltage of bulb, right?

Also, I replaced the radio fuse in the fuse box, but have yet to check the fuse on the back of the radio itself.

Crossing my fingers that any of this reads coherently.

Stereo dead after swapping out tail light bulbs

I replaced the fuse, but the stereo still won't turn on. I've never unhooked the battery before doing it, which I've read is fine. Also one of the tail light assemblies is from a 3rd party, but not one of the super cheap ones. Any idea what could've occurred? Car is an 87
