Thanks daz!

Mark you won't believe just how tight it is! I have a exact centre for you to copy now though so can give you measurements for the size of ally block we need then just need a price bud, will drop you a text or maybe ring you sometime tomorrow!

But I'll get you to do the centres spot on and they should just go
