Now, at first I thought they were were some of them spangley dust covers from Halfords, but now I'm guessing you've had your 356 hubs machined into 'covers'... Confused

Either way, they look pretty cool fella Very Happy

Maybe I should!
In hot rod circles you can buy false Buick drums which are finned aluminium, similar to porsche ones and slip over disc brake setups.
Maybe I should start producing false 356 drums. Wink

Brakes look amazing. Do the plates add anything to the track width?

I had them skimmed as much as I could, on the inner face and outter face. They are now about 7mm which is about 1/4".
So as the beam is 5.5" then it works out the same as a 5" beam now. Wink
