All the parts were made from scratch, the Borrani spinners were off a Ferrari which I had cast in alloy heat treated and machined to suit.
Was'nt a cheap exercise but the result is what I was after.
These were obviously inspired (knocked off) by the Vortz centre locks, hope Nick approves :?

They look great but are they legal,will they pass an MOT or some over officious police officer because they protrude the body? Just a thought.

....another option for spinners?

http://shop.tonythompsonracing.co.uk/tt ... -445-p.asp

Ralph Nader had the 3 eared spinners banned in the USA when the Lotus Elan with knock offs was introduced. They had to go to a single hub nut...now known as a 'Nader Nut'
