£30.87 all in. That's not too bad. Not available from a local engineering supplies?

Very nice.

Very tidy brake light Ralph. Black, white or body colour finish?

Winston, if it's ground clearance your after there are hundreds of sets of ex T2 reduction hubs discarded across the UK.

Favourable financials balanced out by regularly replacing 'quality' rear Bandags. This will be comin...

Ram SRT10 daily here in Middle East which would be cripplingly expensive to run in the UK. Kudos to you with 8-10mpg (at best?) at home pump prices.

I briefly owned a Type 3 Karmann Ghia but can't find any photos of it. I think I sold it to cubist.
