My nuts finally arrived, ooh err missus.

Fitted the hub adapters today which was a very straight forward job.

A couple of picture for those that are not sure what the hub adapters are, the black item bolted to the hub is the adapter, the nuts and splines were greased with copper slip along with the taper seat on the back of the wheel center hub. To tighten the nuts i had to use a wooden handle (pic 2) to stop the hub from turning as the brakes are not connected at the moment.

All four spoke wheels fitted, the ride height has been increased by 30mm form the original spitfire wheels.

Welded the floor from underneath to the sub frame as one piece per side, i will probably put a second internal floor in ally to give a neater finish, sealed all edges with polyurethane as a good measure.
