'Richard,



Yours is the same as mine, G-BCBL, which is the standard fit - I got a tyre
from Watts which I think originated from Desser but did not fit the hub I

' Thank you Bob That makes me feel better – at least there was probably a good reason for them – but they are pretty ‘Gash’ with no thought of having them the same each side. The struts are off to the welder next week after I have cleaned the 5 layers of paint off them. Have a happy Christmas Frank ...
