    You let a flat tyre/tire stop you from driving? FFS, call yourself RADICAL?
    Radical would have been "Faaaaaaa, look how how me fender fell off when the tyre/tire finally let go!"
    Or not.
    Sorry dude. Bummer.

    Anyway, just 1000000000000 posts to go to catch up with the old thread!

    I went over to Burnham Autos last night for a bit of a bonfire party and had a nice hack back home. Came off the sliproad from the M25 to A20 at about 50 straight onto the roundabout and got a beautiful sideways slide with the car leaning right over and the tyres howling. Was planning to carry it all the way round to the lights but there was a cop car sat there. Quickly tried to make it look like I'd 'misjudged' the crossplies lol, but he didn't seem to notice.

    Add some diagonals


    Then get clever and add a seat belt mount across the rear

    Then make a twit out of yourself by not being able to get it out

    the set of 4 i had from Kris were fibreglass and were quite basic. i had the broken front bakelite one's which i used a pattern to add hard wood blocks to inside of the fibre glass ones and were glassed in to make the same inside fitting (so they fitted the same as the original ones). the rears i added more fibre glass so they were stiffened up and the same thickness as the originals.
