"Test" Lug size?
So I am back in the shop this morning doing some more practice and was wondering how long should the "test lugs" be? Is there a point where they are too long.
Thanks!

Make the sleeve whatever contour you like. I don't like wasting any more practice tubing then needed so my practice sleeves are of a fairly basic wedge shape. Enough difference of the length to flow filler through to make it seem like a lug but a simple angular cut across the sleeve's tube to make it go fast. Look at how long lug socket points are. No need to have a practice sleeve much longer. Andy
