Yes mate, Chevrolet called it 'saddle'.

 

[Oneball]

That looks lovely, tilt column freaks me out slightly, always looks like it’s snapped!

 

[Nick B]

I know what you mean.

Got my Coopers reversed - trying to be more subtle, as I can no longer fit into my flares!

I'm over the moon with the RWL Coopers, IMHO they look awesome! I guess the world wouldn't work if we all liked the same things, how would everybody fit onto the Isle of Man for the 1st week of June?

Moggy no longer mine, has gone even further north....Inverness! New owner put on some new rear tyres, BFG's and left on the blue tape on the white lettering, as he thought it suited the blue paint! As Nick B summises, each to their own.

This is how mine looked when I left the tyre centre!

whilst on the subject of tyres what sort of pressures do you guys use. I have the original handbook from '75 and it says 20 PSI. i'm currently running cobras on a 70 x 225 profile.

 

[Forrest Gump]

I run 28psi in that same size tyre.

 

[Nick B]

32 psi all round.

26 front 28 rear, all depends on hardness of suspension, tyres and age hardness of the tyre, I run Cooper Cobras, they are usually M & S Mud and Snow, a slightly softer compound, I changed them all not so long back due to date, I was amazed, I immediately found the ride much softer and so increased the pressures a couple of pounds to 26 and 28, however I run with harder suspension, the choice of tyre profile can also impact on choice of pressure.
