Nothing important, but I did manage to finally get the rocker seals to fit. The holes needed to be opened up a bit.

I also got the locknuts machined down to fit the Force wheels.

Lastly, I added a couple stickers, thanks to Malcolm.

Awesome wheels whats the procedure getting those force wheels into SA? costly much?

RE: Charlie - Mini Mk3 - Sean1380 - 08-23-2016

I think there are only three set of Force rims in SA, two set of 13's and this set of 10s.

I managed to pick them up 2nd hand in the UK from a mate of a mate.

I used them for a few years, then J got them.

Awesomely light weight to.

Basically, if you want new, you just contact Carl from Force, he makes for you and ships to SA.

Pretty much as Sean said. Probably looking at R20k+ for a replacement set now.

This is the car your Force wheels came off - here they were 7.5" not 6.5" wide

RE: Charlie - Mini Mk3 - Jared Mk3 - 08-31-2016

Wow! I didn't know that. That's so cool.

Bought some yellow perspex and started making this :

Definitely needs some work to get it looking nice and working nicely, but the idea is there.

Hmmm...
