Yes that's the ones! Now to find some.

Possible change of plan on the cage front. Looks like I've sourced a good 2nd hand OMP cage that has never been fitted for a good price. Just waiting on a courier quote.

I think it does but I'm not that fussed about that as we're going to tie it to A and B pillars anyway.

Agree those wheels are probably rocking horse sh!t but worth trying to find a set.
