I have just restored a set I bought here at Samba. They are going to be mounted next week!

If any have more info, ad`s or brochures, i would be thankfull if you mail it to me.

Use disk brakes and drilled drums if you don't like wheel adapters. Either way I thunk that fuchs look cool. I run them on my '67.
