Looking excellent - the road wheels look great with a little removal of machine marks. I used big rubber band on my Panther wheels similar to zip ties. Works great! Nice work, will be a beauty.
Best regards,
Bob

Hi Yves
Those are back plates for the canvas tie downs.
There should be bent wire bits to go with them .

Derek
