Hey Matt,
Welcome to the forum. Nice set of wheels you have there. Did you order the twin carb manifold from Bunnings? :D

Regards
Stephen

what rims are you useing as i want to use the same caps but wasn't sure if they would go on a standard HT/HG rim and don't particularly want to spend the money to find out they don't fit, thanks

also if you don't mind me asking where did you get the caps and how much the cheapest i've found were approx $400 with shipping from the states
sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping
