Looks good, thanks for sharing. I need to rebuild mine in the near future, luckily it's not that urgent.

They look fantastic! Great job that man!
What would this cost me of i were to send my tripple SU's and let you rebuild them?
They are on my car and they are running at the moment but i think theyre getting to the point of needing a refurb now i recon.
Thank you. J
