The Piper cams vernier cam wheels look stronger than the Kent ones. They might be the go..

Maybe these will do the job. They are not a bad price either..

They do some interesting parts. Other than that maybe some one made by Quaife.

The car looks fantastic, haven't seen it in the flesh yet but hope to soon!
I prefer the second photo to the first, when it comes to tyres, but admittedly the car looks great regardless!

Looking Awesome as always Phil [^]
I missed your front moving the engine about business, good luck with it.
I am going to go back into the firewall a little bit on my next build as in keeping the intercooler behind the grill i dont have any space for decent sized thermo fans.. this may prove to be an issue yet [:I]

Thanks Damion,the front end mods might go on hold at the moment as the new set of tyres has reduced the issue Will see what happens in the next few weeks as I'm really enjoying driving it again[:p] Speaking of driving it,I just got back from dropping a mate home, couldnt help my self....I was up it all the way  There's only one way to describe it now.....F#*K^NG MENTAL.... [:p][(#)][(#)][;^)]Mark is in for a treat on Sunday[:p]

Well I guess Mark is a lucky lad then isnt he  haha Yeah I'm a little worried about my own self control when i finally get around to getting my car streetable
