Hi Paul, where did you find the 17" multispokes? I'm contemplating doing somehting similar to my 4.5BV, thinking SP12s which look nice, or maybe being more 'original' and finding some 18/17 multispokes like you have done.

Hey Ross.!
I can't remember, off the top of my head, but I'm quite sure it's Rimluxe wheels...type Lenso BSX, on Ebay, and they should come up!

ah great, thank you... found them. Do you have any pics of yours (body on!) on them?!

Not yet! Body is going away in a week or so, to be painted...

Gentlemen, I hadn't found this discussion previously, but just FYI I have just put a new thread about loads of spares that I have available for a pre Cat Griff. Also I have out up a set of multi spokes on eBay this morning.

Paul,

looks fantastic - a great job. If you are going to sprint or hillclimb it may I suggest you swap the frontlower and upper wishbones for the stronger tubular Tuscan racer ones. You will find with stiff suspension that if you use the kerbs the standard ones will bend. Much easier to do now than later.

John Reid sells them.

I did think about it.!!

I'm waiting to start work on my FIAT X19, for competition...Fitting a Suzuki GSXR 1100WP water cooled engine, 160+bhp

X19 with that engine will be proper fun. for good hill climb/sprint competition take a look at the classic marques speed championship. the largest speed champ in the uk now with about 60 entrants, 25 rounds and pretty much any proper car is eligible and all on power to weight handicap to make it fair. There is already 1 X19 in the championship. I run my griff in it and the people are really nice. the championship is run via a private facebook page by a guy called steve cox
