They are very heavy and needed modifying to fit I wouldn't buy them again as I waited since before christmass for them to turn up.

The doors are Curley carbon ones and don't seem bad for the money. if you are going all out for light weight they are worth it but if you use it on the road i would go for merat frames with the alloy skin as they bend all over the place. You could easily be strengthen them up but then it's defeating the object of using them

I will get some more photos of the linkage for you

This car is just great. It has like every part i've ever put on the wishlist fitted! Although I wish your photos were bigger

How well did the heatshield tape work to reduce the temp?
