Kevin Abbott Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 They look like good parts. Who makes them? They look very close to original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novasportc550 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) They look like good parts. Who makes them? They look very close to original Got them from a member on here called TJM. The chassis legs were a great fit, but the swan necks weren't. I had to cut the swan necks and fit them in sections to make them fit right.. Edited December 6, 2013 by Novasportc550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robah Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Coming along nice William, loving the thread. What size tyres have you managed to fit on the back? I have some Falken tyres 225/50/15, which just about stretched on because the side walls are solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
