I don't know about these new Girlings, but I used the 4 pot Fosseways on the front of my 3.8 FHC. Super well made, installation was about 45 mins total and Simon at Fosseways is a pleasure to work with and really knows his stuff!

Anybody have a verifiable source for these C.8667 "Long Skirt" 5/16"-24 3/4"H nylon insert lock nuts? I've tried getting them from sources on both sides of the pond with no luck.
