yeh, wheels were my summer treat! - think i'll need some skinnies for the mot though, are you allowed any tyre sticking out from arches or not?? Other question i've got is does anyone know whether the nut on the end of the dolomite steering column (ie one holding the boss on) is the same as a mini? i need to find a replacement for my stripped one..

I've got some skinnies spare if you need a borrow?

And I think the thread is the same as on a mini, but the nut itself is smaller. I seem to remember a TR7 one does the job.

My K3 the tyres are half inch or so outside the arches - I think the MOT man just applies a touch of common sense.

I think they actually work on the wheels, rather than the tyres, when they check if they are sticking out from the arches.
