eagle yeah i will be using the orings i got with them, but there quite old, and what a perfect seals.

i guess something like hlymar or something like that, want clear sealant ideally.

pennywise, car is amost finished at the bodyshop, the work done is amazing!

yeah cheers tony, just used general purpose sealant, sure it will be fine.

Its only a backup as the o-rings should do there job.

Fook me they take a long time to put together.

all i've been told is to use RTV.. dunno if that helps you much, but if anyone can tell me to get the last centre of the last half a rim then that'd be much appreciated!
