thx zach

at the rear there's more space in the wheels hole to put the knock off , but at the front  the parts n1 touch the brake hub (2) , and the base of the knoff of isd biiger than the jge caps , not too much solutions  :-\ machined an smallesr alumimiun hub for the drums , or to take again matter on part 1(knock off base)

if someone have any idea  ???

oh what a nice idea. if i had the money i would build him just that. just because it would match the car so nicely.

cars always look better in evening sun.

Hey, just out of curiosity here but have you had the wheels satin coated or anything after you had them blasted??

I'm only asking as I've just had my torqers blasted and was wondering if I could have them painted a greyish colour so they A) have a protective coating and B) so they look like the ones that Bernie used to have on his oval.  Not sure what to do?

Oh the wheels I have are also the first prototype set that were made when Jon Abbott had them done ;)

Sorry for hijacking the thread by the way.

Cheers

Post by: speedwell on April 23, 2009, 15:35:41 pm
i just added a clear matt coated  ;)


Title: Re: here we go again for....
Post by: speedwell on April 23, 2009, 16:51:56 pm
butterskotch  i do this treatment on my wheels to have  a similar look of the original torq trust , maybe the magnesium are more darker , mine will look  more aluminium one
if i will have a torquer spare wheels , i will try to paint htis one more darker to see what they look

Cheers Speedwell, I thought thats what you did. I'm still a little undecided on what to do with mine, think I'll have to have a word with my friend whos a painter to see what type of results he think would be possible  ;).  I'll post pics when I get it sorted as well as pics of the car soon as its due to go for paint any time now.  Mmm, butternut...
