I wish to fit a couple of towing hooks on to my tank as part of the tool kit. Has anyone got a link to or knows the length, width and thickness of these so I can scratch build them?
Many thanks
Mike.

I was intending to make them, as I will end up spending a whole lot more if I go to Steve. I need to go easy for a couple of months and I am too impatient to wait to afford them.

£2 each? I could not make them for that! Oh well another order me thinks.

They're great, but beware - I'm pretty sure that you have to buy the hooks and mounts separately.... Here's how the front one looks in place

I am also looking for the vent hood that your photos show in white. Where did you get it from? Yep, I checked the site and the mounts are separate but still cheap.

The resin fan cover came off ebay for a couple of quid. I had to hollow it out a little to fit. The metal one I tried first just didn't look right - not rounded enough
