Got them at last, . Wheel centres of course,got them made locally,89mm for 400-450SE as good as originals and resin coated, look fantastic, just need car back to stick them on.

I have got mine firmly in my back pocket this time.
So you all want to know where to order them,
give Steve Morgan a ring at Morgan Associates 01268 288587. Cost approx £5.00 +Vat
Photo does not do them credit.

Is this more information than is necessary

Good man Martin, how does it feel to be fully dressed again?

Still not got your car back though how bloody frustrating, you, Seamus and Rev will be able to discuss life without the wedge with enormous personal experience!

Will it be ready for BBWF?

You may want to change the heading of this thread so that folks will realise Oz wheel centres are available again,otherwise they'll probably give it a wide berth

All the best!

Martin is not letting on that his car will be finished this week and I just had the call that the SEAC is ready for collection and it's been remapped again by Mark Adams as he missed out the bit that makes it nice to drive around 2K revs.

I pick it up tomorrow .. so I'm looking forward to that.

Martin - I had a look at you car while I was at Austec
- the new AVO's look very nice - as do the front and rear brakes .. expensive disc's ..

I start to feel sorry for these guys.

Sounds like quite a job to track down the parts .. so I guess we should be sympathetic about slow progress !

Do agree but this is why I have now started to try and find the parts for them when met with 'don't know what it's off' - this way getting it sorted quicker as I can devote more time to the task - of course this should also mean getting the car back quicker but it doesn't always work..

Glad to hear your pleased with the car Rev - hope yours is also sorted to your satisfaction Martin.. Had a message that Richard (Peninsula) is checking mine over tomorrow which sounds like a heads up that it won't be returned until next week but I'll hold fire on that assumption til tomorrow

How you doing Gary.
I remember now where I found Steve, it was one of your earlier threads, so thank you. Did you find the sticky back on them sufficent or did you use some other sticky stuff.
Hows car doing.

Mike from Austec just phoned.
Car finished, collecting 15.00 today,so will be on M25 soon after with a big .
Paul says engine in it is fantastic but requires Mark Adams magic touch, which I was going to do after summer.
Will post report and photo later.

Martin, Sean and Waynester, take it easy at first you'll have forgotten what a real car drives like, but you've some great weather in store to become re-aquainted

Wish I could join you for a beer but I've too much on this weekend already including my nephews birthday party! I have enough of in my own house!

Supposed to be picking up a newish Galaxy diesel today, must be getting sad cos I'm actually quite excited

Drive safe!
