The dude from Folkrace who's on Tbricks does speak English. Yeah, they're pretty stonking value, and fairly serious cams. It's one of the latest 'discoveries' on Tbricks...the sort of place the Swedes like to keep quiet so they can mock those stupid Americans with their iPd turbo cams :lol:

well fabrication is a bit limited with me,
was there any way you could have fitted the seats with out fabrication, ie drill new bolt holes or something?
