Very very nice, I wouldn't mind putting that car through its paces I want to know where they get the centre lock hubs. I'd like a set of those for my car.

I dunno whats the situation over at your place, but over here, centre lock hubs/wheels are illegal for street use...

Quite a while ago, I had a web-site of a german machining company that made those for porsche hubs.
Anyways, I suspect it will not be cheap whoever makes them.

I didn't realise that? Is it a Eurozone regulation or just local to you? There are a mass of old Jaguars and the like that use knock on centre hubs does that mean they are illegal to drive on the road Europe wide or just in the Netherlands?

I am sure that cars that originally came with them are perfectly legal, but those crazy tuned cars where some-one has made some contraption to fit his wheels in another way, is another thing (eggageration to make a point).
I am no expert in european legislation, but pretty sure most inspection bodies see it the same way. Its a pity, but that is just what I know.
Unless you present it for some sort of custom approval or type approval, but I am sure most of don't want to go there...
Officially, the power in my car isn't legal either and needs custom approval and I will probably just do that end of the year or sooner if money allows.

Hi

That car is a work of art.

We have a few rules for road cars that we have to work around down here.

The major ones are,

engine capacity, 2.5 times factory weight for forced induction, a 1303 weighs in at 890kgs, so we can only run 2225cc motor or 3 times factory weight for normally aspirated cars so we can only 2670 cc

wheels go on finished weight of the car, upto 1000 kgs 7 inch rim, 1001kgs to 1100 kgs a 8 inch rim.

I had my old 1302 legally registered and insured with a 2.1 litre WBX motor 17 inch wheels etc

Steve
