Bit of a drama with the wheels! <br/><br/>When my mate fitted um for me I wasn't happy with the GrpA nuts! They didn't fit as to length so I removed 5mm off all nuts but then when bolted up I didn't like the look of the cambered seat. So I've done a bit of research and measuring and found 11/16" nuts with camber washer that look perfect, so hopefully have then this week.











Then next! <br/><br/>When we test fitted the comps with track tyres, they caught the arches and showed me that the arches have been replaced at some point, and done well infact but! who ever prepped it for paint put unnessary filler on the arch lips, just didn't make any sense as under the filler metal work was like new, shape was also fine! Must of been a YTS! So as I don't like rolled arches and I've fitted 8J et15's I've removed the lip and just left 5mm now, so lots of clearance.













Rust treated the metal and etch primed, not got any pint atm but at least untill I have they look good and are weather proofed!
