Hi all, not been on the forum for a long time but the bug is beginning to bite me again to get my V8 on the road. I’d like to get my SU carbs serviced/rebuilt could anybody recommend someone that might be able to do this for me? Thanks in advance! Brian.
Hi Chaps, just an update on the situation. My alloys are now on, any concerns I had thankfully didnt materialise, seem to have adequate clearance and appear to run with minimal runout. Result.
I think they look rather nice.

Yes, I agree with what you say about the over thinking of things, maybe I'm just being finicky. I'm going to get hold of some part worns to try out soon, I'm reasonably confident I've got the clearance but of course I wont know until they are actually fitted, will post my findings.
Hi Chaps, my wheels aren't hub centric and so are only centred by either the conical or sleeved nuts depending what wheel is fitted. My alloys use the sleeved nuts, steels the conical type, I recently bought the alloys and after a bit of research have just ordered/received the sleeved nuts for...
Hi, sorry about the vagueness, but with the conical lug nuts because of their shape I would imagine they centre the wheel on the hub better compared to the sleeved lug nuts which would have clearance because the sleeve goes through the wheel so possibly mis-centreing it. My concern is vibration...
I was just wondering, with the sleeved type of lug nuts that actually go through the wheel and have flat washers, surely they cant be that accurate when centreing the road wheel, especially when compared to conical lug nuts. What are your thoughts on this?
Theres a few you could try, Lancaster, Footman James, Adrian Flux to name but a few, these advertise in the classic car mags eg Practical Classics and can be googled for an on line quote. Good luck.
