they are..just need to find a product that makes the whole process a bit more pleasant...Not many wheels that aren’t lol. Think ozs are worth the effort though!

i applied this last september so its been on for over a year..not a bad product but the wheels get dirty regardless..i have not got access to a tap so i could jet wash mine often and paying £3 everytime i want to clean my wheels seems like wasting my money..I’ve bought some C5 on Mes’ recommendation so will report back!

More than likely, yes. Regardless if you could get me a weight on both that would be superb!i have one of my braids replaced next monday. i'll ask if they have a 'weight chart' or something.
mine are 7X17, i guess you're looking for 8X17?
Thanks mate, It's not even at its lowest point there either, so more room to go down if need be. It's definitely a must if you have buckets IMO, I can actually see where I'm going now.^^^^ Top marks for ingenuity and creativity ! Looks like a huge difference.
Nice work that man![]()
Always something good going on in this thread. Great effort.Right so being 6ft and having buckets I needed to have them as far back as possible so my legs are nice and level or I get a nice ache in my knee. While that's not a problem, my arms aren't 4ft long so steering wheel reach was a problem, but going back to my 172 days I knew it was a simple fix, or it was in the 172 at least.

Cue the stripping of panels.... nice and easy! The only thing that got in my way which I nearly ripped off in a massive rage was the stupid bit of cloth attached to the top steering cowl. While it unclips from it, it was just in the way the whole time making life a misery.

The aim here is to insert some washers in the gap, but obviously that's not going to happen with the retaining part there so I bent that out so I was able to drop the whole lot .
After a short break and a cuppa I cracked on, undone the front two bolts for the steering column to find there was two more hiding behind, so I cracked them off and wound them out to the last few threads, gave the lot a good tug and it dropped down nicely.
It's a bit tricky but doable on your own, I've had to get quite creative while doing my own work on my lonesome in the past but I've always got there in the end.
So washers in, all back together and the steering wheel is lower by a good few inches from about 25mm of spacers.

Now I'm 100% comfortable with plenty of reach to the top of the wheel.
I also have a few bits in the post, some audio related and some bits to tidy up the interior. Everything should be here and fitted by the end of the week.
