I'm not a fussy person, and i knew i wanted a straight spoke, that was easy to clean. I think they suit the Betsy, and as soon i saw them I loved them. I personally think they look really good, and really suit Betsy. Thanks again to Phil4x4saph. who helped loads.

good luck finding rouse skirts. It was hard enough trying to get a replacement front splitter, and she really is a rouse. I had to give the build no. and reg no. to verify she was real b4 he would make my splitter

hopefully i will be going to the major shows this year Doo, Mines 56 of 67 - I was on Cambridge stand at nat day last year, but haven't made any meetings recently to expect to get on the stand again this year.
My bulbs in the front indicators are 'Enigma' bulbs, they just have some weird coating so they dont look amber thru the glass. nothing special.
and again the majority of opinions on the rims is that they look good. I dont know what there is to dislike about a straight spoked wheel, considering the original lattice design was so busy, but I respect that opinions differ, and as long as i like them its all that matters.

Those clear indicators have had the orange filter ground out of them aswell. If you just fit enigma bulbs you will still have that nasty orange blob in them (like mine!! )
