ok need to know where I can get some tyres for my rims. 165/55/12. I have asked a few places and found none that can get em in yet. I also need hood lining so should I lean towards DIY or get it done professionally? I also need a few other bits and bobs inc flares. So the main question is...
is it better to get most of this from OS or local. Cheers

Doogie has mentioned a few times his trimmer made and installed a hoodlining around his rollcage quite cheaply - perhaps ask doogie who it was?

He would be in sydney

Also tyres, you could go to the yokohama HQ in silverwater - right near karkraft, or just buy from the UK

That is a bit of an odd sized tyre, can you go to a 175 or a 185? It will open up a lot more options. I bought some in a 175 recently. No one had them on the shelf, but next day, no worries.

<EDIT> Dunlop do actually do a 165/55/12. SP Sport R7. PM sent.

For your parts I would check out mini king and Karcraft. For tyres you could try Minisport in Adelaide or I usually get mine from Bob Jane, Falken. but I did buy some 12" Yokohamas from the UK once when they were on special.
