Re: The Blue Leopard
I really like the slot mags, makes me think again about painted steels...
Sorry to be a bore but what are the specs? Are they 8 x 15? What about the back spacing and tyre size. Would be interested to know the specs as buying from 6000 miles away causes a slight challenge if you get it wrong.... Many thanks, P. ![]() |

Re: The Blue Leopard
