I have a few more pics to upload so I'll get this updated tomorrow. Its great seeing the appreciation from everyone as I keep thinking I should have just bought a well looked after 182, don't get the same satisfaction out of it though (I dont think my bank account agrees)
Like Amos said, you can just use a screwdriver in the slots sideways, I personally just used a set of mole grips and pushed against it as I wound it in.
Thanks George, I was really pleased at how quickly they arrived

So I made some progress finally with the Trophy. This week I ordered up some new brakes for the car through George at RoadTrackRace.com and a quick trip to Autoparts, as it will be going for an MOT this coming week and the old ones were in horrific condition.
So Friday came and the new Discs...
