Charlie - Mini Mk3

[Jared Mk3]

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.

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.

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

You forget to mention that I bugged you about them for a few years as well

LOL that you did Jared

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

[Jared Mk3]

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...
