I'm looking at 13x7 front and 13x8 minilites but I can't find any definite offsets used for such a wheel.
I used team dynamics 1.2 wheels ET38 I think, best to get a template of the wheels you like to be sure, what brakes are you using? 1.8 or 1.6?

Thanks for the info, I'm using mk2 1.6 brakes front and rear. 250ish mm diameter I believe.

Can you submit a car for an ova with an lsd that prohibits individual wheels brake tests?

Will that diff be damaged if spinning one rear wheel on a brake tester whilst the other is stationary?

I'm looking at the bargain Ashcroft lad but they say it's needs the accelerometer test otherwise it'll be damaged. I know that's fine with an mot test but wil Mr Iva accept that?

Chassis painted (badly) floor on and many parts cleaned via electrolysis and wire wheel.







Boxes of goodies!



I'm aiming to get the arms, uprights, calipers, discs and wheels on then finish the pedal box. I can then route the brake and fuel lines. Then it's engine and exhaust time. At least that's the order I'm aiming for.

Does anyone have a link to some 3 way brake/fuel pipe clips?
