My car came with a refinished set of Borrani wire wheels, along with a mismatched set of wheels that were used to roll the car around. The first pair of wheels were the same size and off-set, so they fit fine, but the second pair had major clearance problems. Even though I was just using these wheels to roll the car onto the trailer, they were rubbing on the rear calipers, so I needed to find a solution. Scott Garvey's car is in storage while François is rebuilding his engine, so I decided to borrow Scott's GTE wheels while I moved my car to its new home. (Thanks Scott!)

Scott's narrower wheels are mounted on the rear axle, and the wider wheels, like the re-finished ones I'll be putting on my car, are mounted on the front suspension. I can't wait to see how the car looks with its new wheels and tires mounted.

Before all the moving took place, I managed to complete on restoration task before all the tools were packed away. This little diamond shaped bend was put in place at the end of the choke cable. It's a small detail, but I'm told is how the factory did it, so there it is!
