Where to buy tyre covers?

[XKaLiBaR]

I have found demon tweeks, which sell 2 types. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Motors...ases/1789/6387

The more heavy duty one looks awesome, and has a handle to carry the wheel. If it can support the weight??

Does anyone know anywhere else i can get tyre covers?

SIMPSONS do them for £50 I bought a set good value and don't scratch the panels

^^^^^^^^^
As Derek has said Simpsons do pretty good ones.
Bought mine from there and they are spot on for the back seat. :thumbs:

TSL Motorsport (bought via eBay) - with handles - seem to do the trick - they were c.25 quid.

I too have the 'dontdobends' Simpson specials and they are holding up well after 2 seasons of track abuse and numerous washes! :thumbs:

Ok, i just ordered the heavy duty one from demon tweeks for £53 next day delivery.

Blimey - how far do you intend carrying them? I normally lift them out of the car and shove them in a pit garage some 10 yards away - never needed a handle...

The Simpson ones are soft outside as well as in - rather crucial when not wanting to scratch the rear CF door cards.

I have to carry them for about 20 metres, to the guys garage at the ring! That killed my back last time. I see what you mean about the outside being soft though. Maybe I should take my rear cards out aswell, as i have taken the back seats out already. Would probably make more room for the wheels.

Just out of interest are your back seats out permanently or do you just remove them for track days?

Just for trackdays. Helps with carrying the track wheels, lose about 25kgs, and you get a very racey exhaust noise! :thumbs:

I cant get wheels in from the front anymore, as the bucket seats do not recline forward. So everything has to shoved in from the boot. Back killer!!:bigcry: Thats why a handle on the tyre cover, will help pulling them out.

Bend the knee's when lifting, that'll sort the old back out! :hahaha:

I'm quite tempted to remove most of the interior for a weight loss but just cant bring myself to do it as it's not just a pure track car (Glendog will tell you it's not a road car either! :bigcry: :bigcry.

Are you front seats re-trimmed Pole Positions and are they lighter than the standard CSL front seats?

Thats why i put everything back in again. :thumbs: Cannot live with the noise too much on the road. Only takes 5 minutes to take it out.
The pole positions weigh 15 kgs each, with the mounts. Not sure how mucht he CSL seats weigh, about 20kgs?
Just the middle part is retrimmed to imola red leather.
