There are a lot of Mini's on the field. It seems like a great event.

Right as you may have seen new wheels acquired

sent of for dip and paint. Gold.

New stuff for each rim.

and something to treat the old slicks.

then the slicks and wets need protecting so a set of 13s for standing the car on when not racing.

wheely nice!

Those P7F tyres were quite good in their day - must be a few years old now, but perfect for storage rims.

 

Did you already have the cutter? I keep thinking about purchasing one but last time I  looked they weren't that cheap even 2nd hand.  I'll probably stick to borrowing a mates!

Where did you get the inserts/seats for each wheel? Need to replace a few worn ones on my wheels before powder coating...

eBay less than 200. Reconditioned and 3 months warranty cheaper than one wet tyre.

Raceways Die-Cast Models. They don’t do any with the standard Mini fitting though. They are getting very hard to find. But I might have some.

Mmm need spacers.

[nicklouse]

Well. Had to get some spacers as the 7s catch the shocks so I can’t move it about.

[nicklouse]

They are hiding.

Sparkles 

[imack]

[nicklouse]

Tyres mounted 

Now to turn them into wets.

Great colour Nicklouse

Swapped the insets over this morning but before doing so thought I would black them.

Still need to be tightened down to fully seat.

photos don’t do the colour justice as there are blues and purples in there.
