    I don't think that hubs are going to get you any noticable difference in gas mileage, there is not that much rotating mass unlike a 60 in a truck

    what kind of bolts to use for collector so they don't have to be cut off after only 2 or 3 years? Grade 8? Zinc or uncoated? Locking (not nylock of course)?

    220 extension cords/adapters. The picture shows what I'm trying to do, and I think all I have to do is make sure the neutrals/grounds match up but want to make sure.
    My stove outlet is the only 220 in the house for now. It's that goofy 50A NEMA turkey-foot looking plug and I want to plug my extension cord into it and have the other end standard dryer-plug style. Can I just match the round prong on the dryer plug end to the middle prong on the turkey foot end and I'm good to go? My only worry is that the descriptions keep referring to the round prong on the dryer style as Ground and the middle prong on the NEMA style as Neutral.
    The next conversion is to go from dryer plug to 20A NEMA but I am pretty sure that's easier...the round ones are both ground, other prongs are each a leg of hot.
    And since my extension cord has 4 wires in it, I would want to double the neutral/ground, right?
    Anything else to worry about?

    edit: going from NEMA 10-50 range outlet (2 hots and neutral) to NEMA 6-50 (2 hots and ground) to Nema 6-20 (2 hots and ground)

    stick a volt meter in each leg until you find the ground. each leg should be 110v
    black and red are each leg, white neutral, green ground.

    the 10-50 NEMA is antiquated, apparently, and has no ground, only neutral. But I am told I should be able to find an unused ground lead in the receptacle box so I just need to put a new receptacle in using all four leads and then adapt my stove to plug into it.
