Re: SP250 Original Pressed Wheels
Thanks for all the responses, can anybody offer the best option regarding getting them finished,
I can get them powder coated of stove enamelled or are there any other options I could follow.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated just want to get them looking as good as possible.

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.

North of England who could carry out this work.

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.
