They are definitely LS offset Contessas.
edit: and they look superb on Nb cars.

Most Nb racers use LS front and Mini rear offset Contessas.

That saves the extra weight of spacer rear drums- which might be illegal anyway on an Nb.

With some mods to the caliper!!!!

Need to carefully grind above and behind the blled nipple just a mm or two!


Yes Lillee has these and the mods done

I've decided to buy them :D I'll ask again in a couple of weeks about the clearance issues :wink: I'll also check if the standard contessa nuts fit, if not I'll see what happens. Thanks for your opinions.
