Hammys 60's Racer

Hammy 11 Jun 2013, 7:41pm
Danny give me a call mate, it will be much easier than me trying to do this on my crap blackberry

Hammy - are you doing away entirely with bonnet hinges?
Hammy 13 Jun 2013, 2:57pm
Yep I have mate and it looks great and gives you much more room for fitting the bonnet correctly. For a racer look I'd highly recommend it mate

Ive done away with the bonnet hinges to. Much easier.

These wheels look fantastic - just what we're looking for!

I know the car is sold now but it would be a huge help if you could please let me know where you got the wheels and spacers - would really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Alex

wheels

Hi Alex
In case Hammy's not around to answer your query, i think his wheels are made by Lenso. Im sure if you Google or search on Ebay you will find them or similar, the spinners are aeparate and come from the USA.
Also woth looking at the Dare range as they do some suitable models at a lowish price point.
Budget spinners can be found at Europa spares for c. £20 (plastic but ok for the look and light compared to the metal ones).
I loked at the Lens whels too as lthey are lovely and my cars on way to 60s Italian racer look which they suit.
Good luck with the rest of your build

Hi guys, apologies I havent been on here fro ages. I got the wheels from stanceduk in wokingham. They are Dare (made by Lenso)

Thanks everyone - really helpful. Hammy, I just have another couple of questions please if thats ok! What sizes did you get of the wheels / tyres? Did you use 25mm spacers all round? Was your car lowered? And where did you get the spinners from please? Thanks so much for your help - I think getting the right wheels is quite tricky and you got it spot on. We were looking at wire wheels but they are £1,307 for the four without tyres!

For wire wheels, adapters and spinners I used Orson Engineering near Birmingham. If you go to the general chat forum they have a thread titles who needs splined hubs.

I actually got my wheels from eBay really cheap because someone listed them without a picture as Astin Wheels rather than Aston Martin wire wheels. A lucky find for me!

Mmmmmm itchy!

Hi all! Think its time to start a new project. Im tempted by another 250 but am interested in hearing about new developments coming out of Tribute. Any suggestions updates guys? (without trawling every thread as Im lazy!)

Also a while ago I saw a good thread on here of an overseas mx250 in green with a great interior. Can anyone tell me what thread/who that is?

Thanks mate
