Re: Knock On's
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![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)

Re: Knock On's
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.

Re: Knock On's
....another option for spinners?

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'
