Pooped into the local breakers today after a switch and as normal came out with other bits as well, I saw these knobs fitted in a TF and on speaking to the owner he was unsure what they were so sold them on to me for £10.



They look well machined and I recon a bargain at that price. Anybody know what make they are?

Have you got a bargain buy recently?

Mike Satur. You got a bargain there. 35 notes new.

We have them in our TF. I satin blacked the webs in, which, IMO, improves the look.

Do you have a pic John, sounds like a good idea, I was concirned that they were a bit "bilingy"! What paint did you use?

I posted a pic ages ago. I'll take another if you can't find it in search. As regards the paint and method, I painted the flat webs between the knobbly bits and the edge if the base. I had some satin black enamel in t'garage already, but you could try one of those hobby small tins. The worlds your lobster regarding the colour, maybe body colour. I used a fine brush and did them freehand. Clean with thinners to degrease first.

I felt the same as you: a bit gangsta bling: the paint tones them right down.

My best bargain of my build I reckon is my a Merc SL500 Brembo callipers.. £25 each..

4x38mm pistons per calliper.. Aluminium and steel construction mean they weigh the same as an AP.. But fit to a 333x32 disc..
