Re: repro GE-GH dashpads anyone interested?

Sorry still working it out...but my priority has been getting my GH ready to spray.... Been very time poor due to speedway cars and stuff...

Re: dashpad restorers?

There are 4 bolts that go thru the demister vents that have to be undone... But there are also 4 small split pins in those bolts that have to be pulled out... Once they are out it lifts off

Wheel options for a GH scorpion

I'm trying to work out what will fit rim wise for my scorpion.

Having trouble finding anything 4stud 14 inch

Perhaps I need to go up to a 15? or to a 5 stud setup?.

Is this easily doable?

Any advice appreciated
