 Richard arrived up with the plain Option that hadn't been so evident to me - we experienced assembled the Brooklands wheel, so it was only a make a difference of undoing four 10mm bolts to disassemble it once again! With a few mindful measuring of the outdated holes, we acquired the rest of the assembly carried out in short purchase and set the wheel back jointly. Richard did a terrific position While using the carpet, that is from Moss Motors. The inside looks good!
