Good progress mate! Looking really nice with the splitters on.

Are the plugs not pre-gapped? All plugs I've bought have been.

Looks like there's still some corrosion and blistering near the valves. Have you had them blasted or dipped? For the sake of £50 a wheel, worth having them done properly smile
