They are 5.5 x 13 Dunlop steel wheels with 185/60 tyres. They have slightly more offset than the similar Triumph 5" wheels along with the wider rim which puts them further out in the arch. And the lower wishbone brackets are spaced out from the chassis with 10mm blocks each as well which all adds about an inch to the outside of each tyre over. Back end has the short halfshafts on the swing spring as the 5.5" are too wide with the long halfshafts without wheelarch surgery. -
The wheels are intriguing me, like std wheels but wider? Or is it just the angle

This is my fibreglass one. 8kg including the back window. The carbon one should save a couple more kilos. -
I'd like to, egret! I'd need your metal roof to make a mould. John

There's a slight lump at the rear on the base of the passenger side of the windscreen, but I've not fitted the locating cones yet. If I can tease the upper rear sections of the bonnet slightly further apart, then it'll get better than the steel one does. Then I plan to cut some lemans inspired holes in it, and make some stiffening ribs so it's not wobbly. Oh, and @JohnD I'll happily take a silverback inspired hardtop if you've completed all of your other projects!

Don't want to boast, but I will! I built a GRP roof on Silverback. Using paper honeycomb, it weighed 9kgs, when the original metal one was 40kgs. That's a weight saving of 78%! I still have the mould, and some honeycomb! John
