How about the wheel covers or is that to much of a challenge.

With the number of items available in ebay plus the relatively low price of wheel covers it doesn't look like it would be a viable proposition, but with the high cost of the wheel cover centres and their high price these might be a good idea.

Hi regarding the wheel centers the problem with them is that they have to be flexable so the 3 legs go inside the 3 holes in the large outer wheel trims ,And the resin I am using is not flexable enough ,But I have been looking for a diferent type ,
When I do find one I will be able to have a go at making them ..

It would probably be pointless and to hard but how about making the light lenses

Hi Chas,

may I make a suggestion for you next project, how about wing mirror cases. They would be a good match for your mounting brackets.   ::) ::)

EDIT: Pity the chain tensioner parts wheren't ready a couple of months back.   :'( :'(

Hi Chas,

Would love a set of the chain tensioner parts, how much are they?
I do worry about losing them so a spare set would be great.
