Be careful if you are bidding on these hubcaps....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121037752762? ... 1436.l2649

...as the picture originally appeared under this auction.....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370702604087? ... 1436.l2649

I asked the seller if the hub caps shown were the actual caps for sale and, surprise, I have had no reply :?

Very tricky wording in the guff page, it doesn't say that the caps shown are the ones for auction. Pretty stinky.

The work on the manifold was not carried the way downton did it. Plus there's no job number or alignment holes for the head (if the manifold was matched to a cylinder head they would exist), but when I first posted the link I was thinking about how it was modified.

I don't even know if you can buy these anymore but this seems a lot for a piece of pipe with a little chamber :shock: ... It may be mint but I bought one today in good condition for £3.70 from eBay US!!!

Used metal case Twinmaster http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HALDA-TWINMAS ... 35c23eed46 but then washer jets for £150 and grill buttons for £400 odd no I would not be suprised to see nos plastic haldas reach £1.5k, been looking for either at a reasonable price for a few years and have now decided not to bother!
