As per my other thread re 'CHECK YOUR NUTS' ...
looks like i got away pretty lucky, only other thing i can see that needed anything done is/was the metal shroud on the back of the hub was bent.

Ouch after seeing whats happened to yours and mat's i'm getting the wrench on mine tomorrow as i know for a fact they were only air gunned on.
good to see you too Marts.. car has changed a little since Germany, hasnt it.. (yours too)
yeah mine's way better now, much faster and better looking, more comfortable etc etc
sort of
BTW sorry for posting your reg no, i wasn't thinking - i've taken it off photobucket
Re "check your nuts" you got away quite lightly, could have been a disaster mate, glad it ended well in the scheme of things (of course better to not happen but glad nobody got hurt).
So, when are you refurbung the Borbets in cream and getting the roof vinyl done in cream?
seems the car is telling me it doesnt like the Borbets, so they may well soon be consigned to a few posts in my R/R thread
plans have been knocked back slightly now due to having the hassles of replacing /spraying up a wing etc , so only time will tell

Car Deffo is telling me something.. have had rubber changed on the front rims , checked out the car on thursday different rim on that side, then today, off i/we went to DC10, got just inside the aerodrome, and the bloody same noise again! pulled car over to the side just as i did, the rim unseated itself!
seems the standard bolts i have arent getting a good enough bite into the hub so I ended up being loaned a steelie by OrangeMuffin to roll home on as the rim itself is a lot thinner than the Borbet therefore Im getting more threaded area into the hub.
now im going to source some longer bolts, possibly a replacement hub, and the Borbets are going, so Im now into the market for rims again.
(just as well I was bought a Wheel-wh0res sticker today , isnt it
)

really dont know, but one of my boys is trying to hypnotise me into a particular set in a particular colour.. so watch this space, you never know (will probably mean yet another colour change to the roof vinyl too )
