How scarce are parts for BDA motors these days? I've only ever seen one in real life, in pommyland, RS1800 I think?

coming along nicely, despite a slight camber issue, hehe :lol:

Love the look of those old v8's, those tapper covers look awesome.

Also curious as to any details you can give me on those hub cap spikes?
