What tires will you be fitting? 165's would be pretty stretched on a 7" rim.

also, what wheels are those? just soooo good looking. I want them

[jameswildcooper]

fitting 165s...so will be stretched
there mini special wheels or exaction wheels is the proper name.

after getting it timed up and getting it on i realised that the two bolts below the crank catched on the duplex.
so have now modified the bolts and lock tighted them in.
will put timing chain back on tomoz as got to clean block up with blower to get metal filings out. good job i painted it all up before taking it off

Looking good mate. I can't deside what width to go with my specials. I want 7" but worried about the stretch on the tyres

[jameswildcooper]

i went for 6s first....regretted it soon after i seen a friends 7s lol
then went straight for 7s without a doubt

[jameswildcooper]

+ the 6s didnt fill my arches unless i used half inch spacers.
now i dont need spacers
