Well you've got drys and wets + wheels to mount them on so all you need is a cage welding in and a transponder and your all set for production MESC

That collection for £1250 is an absolute steal though, well done!

The cage gets in the way of the luggage set, so sorry, I just can't do it...

Marvelous...I get a shiney new wheel from Noble on the same day there's a post selling wheels! Tell me they're silver and therefor no good to me or I'll sulk.

I didn't realise it, but Noble are askng £870 + VAT per front wheel, I had to sit down! I'm off to check out the thread for replacements.

Martin.

Yep - they are silver. Interestingly the person who's selling them is being somewhat "difficult" to get hold of to arrange collection and payment

Paul has posted on here about some replacement wheels, and some US owners have managed to obtain replacements, but it seems the problem is that the rears are only four stud not 5, and hence the range of 265 wide 4 stud wheels is smaller than a rats poo, and hence supply and demand seems to be playing it's normal games.

Mine had a new nearside wheel in January ( before I bought it)and I'm sure it was £330. I'll dig out the invoice tonight. It was replaced as part of a service by Christopher Neil in Cheshire

£330 to tighten the nuts on a new wheel. Unbelieveable!

But its a skilled job. We know the consequences of tight or loose nuts from another thread on here

Perhaps I should auction my old wheel then:



Anyone want to bid for this ashtray

Picked up the wheels tonight. They will all need a refurb as they have the normal lacquer problems, but once that's done they will be as good as new.

I now have

2xfront 3R
3xrear 3R

2xfront M12
2xrear M12

If someone wants to make me a sensible offer for a whole set then email me through my profile.
