Total bill was £216 incl vat but that included pressure test and head skim + de-glaze 6 pots ,about £100 for the liner seat repair which I thought was a total bargain :)

Trying to get all the dirty stuff out the way before I start engine assembly .
GTA frame fits the same ,build up the new suspenders then pop them on with wishbones and hubs and see if we still get a mismatch on the wheels .
Don't think the GTA lowering springs will work ....have to slap on the old springs .

If the new springs are stiffer...? Then again, you can still lower on the old springs using the adjuster.

I'd be surprised is Simon, Ress and Kern don't do springs/shockers for A610s but I bet they aint cheap. 8)

TBH Anything is better than the later rims they fit to the 610/spider in my own opinion I am not sure why owners are so reluctant to change them they must weigh a tonne!! Its a shame they did not make the earlier rim fitted to the 610 in 17's all round really; much better looking rim, again only in my own opinion.
