Re: SP250 Original Pressed Wheels

O.K many thanks to everyone for the responses, I have decided to do them cream, I like the colour and more importantly so does my wife, the other issue now is do I get them Powder Coated or Stove Enamelled, the chap I spoke to today thinks Powder Coating is the best option. He says it is more hard w...

Re: SP250 Original Pressed Wheels

Thanks for the replies, yes mine also has the Ace Wheel trims, think it is a good idea to get them
crack detected, does any forum reader have any knowledge of a crack detection company in the
North of England who could carry out this work.
Thanks Again

SP250 Original Pressed Wheels

I have original pressed wheels on my Dart which are cream in colour, as I am changing the tyres thought it is a good opportunity to get the wheel powder coated, so my question is what would have been the colour when new, my car is dark blue but am thinking cream or ivory for the wheels. Can anyone a...

SP250 Boot Hinges Gasket

I have noticed my Dart has a rubber type gasket fitted between the hinge and the boot, is this normal or should the
hinge fit straight onto the boot, if gaskets are required are they available to purchase or will I need to make some from scratch.
Mine are looking a bit sad hence the query.
Thanks

Dart Brake Calipers

I am planning to get my Brake Calipers refurbished, I have found a couple of companies who can do the work,
they are BCS Automotive in Nottingham & Classic Brake in Chelford, has anyone used either company and were they
happy with the standard of work.
