I've been in touch with someone who travels between Hong Kong and China :D And a couple of Transit brochures will soon be on their way :!: :wink:
It'll be interesting to see what features are available :wink:
Shall I ask them for price and availability on alloys :?: Don't know about shipping them, import taxes or even VAT :shock:

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

ON THE SUBJECT OF ALLOYS, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYWHERE THAT DOES 14 INCH ALLOYS FOR A TRANSIT. AS I HAVE GOT RECENTLY NEW TYRES 195 X 14 I DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO THE EXPENCE OF MORE TYRES TO GO ON 15 OR 16 INCH ALLOYS, DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYWHERE THAT DOES THEM TO FIT MY TYRE SIZE.

if you are talking 5 stud then you need to be looking for a set of early Tourneo wheels, like the ones FrankSumner has (if he's fitted them yet!). I'm not aware of any others you will be likely to get hold of, there were Wolfrace alloys in the early 80s but if you can find them you would be very very lucky.
