Wanted - 7 x 15 Slot Mags 4.5 PCD

Hi All

Has anyone got a pair of 7 x 15 Slot Mags for 4.5 PCD

I have 8.5's x 15 on the back and 7 x 14 on the Front.

I might also be interested in a pair of 10 x 15 Slot Mags if anyone has 2

Cheers

Duster Rear Lights

Hi All The back lights on my duster have always frustrated me a tad, because the offside one is virtually pink (faded) and the nearside one is proper deep Red. I came across VHT rear lens paint and I have to say I am very impressed. After very careful masking, I gave both lens a few coats and then a...

How

Hi All Dave B did the analysis and I am probably not going to explain it as well as he could, but the aftermarket Com Cams valve springs were correct for the cam, but they were recoiling before the valve reached it's extent of travel causing the valve to snap, he says it was about 150 thou out.

Thanks for bring that stunning Demon, glad you enjoyed it. Will try and do the next one first Sat in Dec (3rd) and with a bit more notice! I know the Dodge will be wrapped up by then, but that's ok!

Yes it is a HSV

Hi All

Yes it is a HSV
Registered as such.
No sign of a Vauxhall badge anywhere!
Thought I might get away with the cheaper tax with it being an import, but no chance, but sod it!

Seat Trimming

Hi All After 2 years of casual shopping around I found a company on my doorstep that could recover my back seat at a reasonable price. I know you can get replacement covers from the USA but that can work out expensive with vat and other duties. Anyway, they took my full back seat, re-foamed and reco...

Duster's new front wheels

Hi Everyone

I have been searching for new narrower wheels for the front of my Duster for ages, and I finally found some!
They are 7 x 14 and I would of preferred 7 x 15 but they look the part. My 8.5 x 15's on the front were just too wide.
First pic is with the 8.5's
Cheers
