    Tony Carter-Ingrams (Not to sure on the second part of the surname) car. He did lots of track days. That car was a bargain at the time.

    thanks for the quick replies, mucho appretiated. They work really well with the C's lines I feel, sharp yet rounded...... Havent seen any on a C before.

    It is indeed Ben....yeah you were getting the 3rd degree from my mate that whats to drop a 20VT into his G60. Think he's found an engine. Taking to Paul the other day (Georges best mate, building a syncro G60) and he said you were down this way now and again. I'll be up for beers next time you all meet up.

    Hi All, The wheels that came with my C are not really to my taste. Been looking for some replacements and found these as a possible.....what do you think???

    I'll be testing the theory once my lights get here from there long lost travels from Spain........they will get here one day! Spanish post hey Nigel.

    took mine off too, looks so much better without it. Top tip..... remove the bracket from the wiper motor, dont try and get the bracket and motor out as one piece as it takes a lot a swearing if they are still together.

    How do you find the LPG???
  13. Andy Brookes
    that thing must weigh a ton.....how much filler!!!!! havent seen anything as bad as that since my 1980 fiat strada.

    The steering rack was replaced on my car due to dodgy steering, but in the end it was found to be the lower ball joints. So that proves the theory further. Cheers Andy

    Its a s**t of a job, I think it took me about an hour, but a lot of sweat! Henny has managed to do it without removing the shear bolts, I had a go, but didnt have a suitable screwdriver or enough patience to complete. So it was out with the drill and grinder etc etc to remove the bolts. Remember the have the key in the barrel when you finally get the bolts out, I forgot and wondered why the barrel would'nt come off.....doh! Good luck

    keskin's I think, not 100% on that though.

    they go though the standard clusters fine. Inpro's need a mm shaved off with the drimel. Andy

    I bought a load of bulb replacements at Inters, but have decided to stick with standard filiment bulbs now as I didnt have the heart to break the orange part out of my brand new indicators. I have 4 Indicator bulbs and 2 stop and tail bulbs. They were changing £15 a pop at inters, yours for £60 the lot. They are the 24 LED type with back illumination to light up the reflectors of the lamps. Cheers Andy

    Hi G SIX T, Thats me motor in the first pic, be great if you could send me a high res one.....to mailto:[email protected]. Cheers very muchly. Andy

    just pop a wheel on and if it just fits on with no movement around the hub, your fine.
  23. Andy Brookes
    Unless the bores are the correct diameter already? 57.5mm seems to ring a bell, i'm someone can either put me right or agree. Just make sure they fit on nice and snug.
  24. Andy Brookes
    you could die without them on!!!! Sorry a bit dramatic, but its no far from the truth. The centre bore of the wheel should be correct of adjusted with centering rings otherwise the wheels will be free to move around under the wheel bolts. Resulting in wheel nuts lossening, wheels falling of................... So best make sure the centre bore of the wheel matches the outer diameter of the hub centre.
