That rear looks great - there is always something else to be done when you start modding....

back wheel fitted, front wheel is in mock up, no bolts in discs etc, Mal P's caliper carriers are going to need some machining, plus thicker spacers behind the discs. the spokes are wider than the mags at the point where calipers are. I'll have to do search on blue spots where all the spacing info and wheel differences are talked about.

Sorry to burst your Wire Wheel Bubble and Secret, but the picture alongside the Standard was a doggy wasn't it, your real intention is to put them on the RH and be really unique and win one of your own trophy's.

I can see you're moving from the dark side (Standard) to the New side (RH), you're just not willing to Come out just yet, but that's O.K. we're all understanding type folk here (LOL). Ohhh maybe EXCESS.11 will get really jealous and never forgive you if that is the case? Over to you Jeff.

Cheers
Lou

Soon, gotta wait for the paint to dry, get some s/s washers and fiddle with the blue spot spacing. Should be on by next weekend.

Thought the brake discs could do with a bit of jazzing up before wheels get fitted to the "E" No:594
