hi Graham firstly welcome to the club it looks very much like you have had some nice cars in the past, as to your niggles with the car no doubt another member with give you some help very soon ron

ok i will ask some contacts of mine to see if they can locate one for you will get back too you if one or the set is found. you may also want to try a local scrapyard as i have known people have found the odd book in the glove box etc Ron

hi Greg i take it you have checked ebay out there is normally some on there Ron

if you heat these up with a hair dryer they come off quite easy then all is needed is a wax & a polish just like having decals /stickers removed ron

here you go thomas www.AliExpress.com Ron

no buddy i dont but i will look later for you i do know it was automotive werehouse company in the usa. it was an alloy leaper with wings at the base at under $20.00 with free shipping. there was one on ebay as well but it was £31.00p but was a uk seller. Ron

im looking into one down in southern area for late summer ? waiting on a dealer's to get back to me

just remember to make sure you fit a spring loaded leaper as the old type are not legal any more or there is there is a version of a leaper with wings on the base which is a more modern version it doesn't look to bad and it stick's on with 3m tape . regards Ron

hi Louise what ever you do please shop around as you can always find a better price, ive found in the past a lot of these place will always say theirs is the best price you can get but not always the case. regards Ron

hi there Rober welcome to the club lots to look at on the forums etc put some photos up asap there is some meets coming up around the areas so keep an eye out for them. anyway welcome again ron

Kenny i think you mean 4mm so the tyres are 50 % worn as new tires are 8mm or 7mm if you buy cheap ones from china etc, but i agree with you about the shocks can be a d.i.y job and i have seen them as cheap as £110 on flea-bay regards ron
