Another exciting post morning today - one I’ve been waiting for for some time. The Wats have arrived:
15x8.5 et-6 and 15x9.5-19. Yummy.
Need a refurb due to light curbing and a few scratches but Dave Porter has his done recently by a place in Stockport for a very reasonable price and an exact colour match, so I will do the same.
Also:
Kameari 39mm port intake gasket:
Parts Assist big valve set. These are 45mm intake, 36.5mm exhaust and can serve two purposes. They are the largest valve diameters you can fit with the standard L28 valve seats. Alternatively, they offer a slightly smaller (helpful in unshrouding) option for the 46/38 size race valve seats. They are also 118mm long, so suited to big cams (above 500 lift). They offer me another option when putting a stroker head together as an alternative to the 46/38 valves I have.
Finally, the other yummy items: new reproduction JDM headlight covers. These are Japanese in origin, not the repros Romas in Lithuania is selling. TBH, I couldn’t justify the €680 plus post he wants for a set, and these were several hundred pounds less. Granted, the frames on these are plastic, not metal, but they fit great and you wouldn’t know from looking at them. The chrome is very nicely done. They are still in no way cheap either! These are for Dixie, but the red FairladyZ might end up with some too after offering them up for the photo below!
