I don't believe it!

On a separate note, that MK2 shell is extraordinarily straight & would make a good all be it basic basis of a superb shell one the restoration work was done.

I will make it fit, I WILL MAKE IT FIT!

Possibly not the most elegant fitting solution ever offered for a LL wheel.

Interesting to see a Cambridge horn push used - I did look at that option but the boss it mounts on needs to sit at least 23mm off the steering wheel to enable the sprung centre contact to do it's job and as you say ends up looking rather incongruous. Might not look so bad with a deeper dished wheel but the rim would then end up right under your nose...

yeah

I'm having a clear out

the roof on my tent has ripped and I just cannot be arsed paying for another one, so everything that is in there is going to have to go

this is the remains of the old 'stinky pete' that was found in that garage in Harrogate

I'm afraid to say that ive been robbing bits and bobs off it for other cars over the years :(


I have made a mistake putting it on ebay at a 99p start, 40 plus people have 'wotz ur best price pal' etc so far - arrgg


its going to be at minispares north from next Monday on (emergency storage.... :lol: )

so I will say that as a special to any member on here

bid a decent, fair price and as long as you can collect it from next Monday - Saturday, within work hours I will accept

my ebay mojo is running out already............................ :(


got loads and loads more stuff, cars, etc are going to be up for sale

having a serious thin out (of minis)
should you wish, you can contact me on rich@minispares.com

No there not Pete. If I'm right, the old ones are Alloy and the new ones are cast.
