Hi John

Picked them up from the post office today, they are cracking, so much better then the originals, I really like this kind of upgrade to our p&j's. You have done us proud sir, they were well worth the wait. Take your point above about depth of paint/powder coat, if i can get to the Growl this year would be good to have a beer.

Paul.

Only just got round to unpacking these after picking them up from John at Chatsworth. As I suspected (knowing John is a perfectionsist) they are superb bits of kit just need to decide wheter to paint them or to leave them as-is... scratchchin

Cheers David... If your not going to paint them and want me to polish them up on the lathe, let me know and I'll do them for you... quick polish and wax.... think thats what I'll do with mine (when I get around to doing them laugh)
Was thinking of putting 4 more screw holes in and fitting dummy screws spaced around the same PCD as the existing one... so gives the impression of 5 screws retaining the wheel?? what do you think?? wink

I'll have to hold off on these at the moment John, I need to sort out my leather problems first and can see that leading to me spending more money than I anticipated sooner that I would have liked !!
