Just grab a manual steer out of a wreck. Noticed the fuel cap is on backwards? use nufinish car polish on your 12 slots. brings the chrome up nice and seems to stop them fr Edited by user Tuesday, 30 May 2006 8:28:22 PM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

You will need to drill 4 small holes into the car as it's held on by 4 speed nuts. Purchased my slotters 20 years ago mate. Speedie brand from memory. 14 X 8s all round
