Hey guys,thanks to coolaride for posting pics.
I am going to the dubbo swap meet at the end of the month,hopefully i can grab some hubcaps. Can you still buy the parts to rebuild the mastercylinders? Ive priced a floor rubber for it,does anyone know what the origional colour would be? Yes will put it in my shed,just got to do a car shuffle! Thanks for your interest Chris
