Hello Fraser
They were allready fitted when i got it,but i think it's just a case of maybe changing the back plate and bolt them on,but i could be wrong(more than likely!!)
Next time i nip up the garage i'll have to have a good nose at them,never really inspected them before :oops:

Im sure you can just knock the studs out to replace them,if not, normally grind the backs down and hit em out,my portafolds got modified hubs on so not too sure of original ones :oops:

I think your biggest problem will be finding someone to help you in B&Q!!!
Gloss might be ok if the body is keyed up enough, certainly a easier way to paint it
