on the subject of legality/safety

they are fine, some tyre fitters ask for a signature just to cover liability and to cover thier backs if anything goes wrong

I dont mind abit of functional stretch but a stupid stretch on a 7j, for no reason, behave.

Also, It is actually an offence not to fit tyres in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, so over stretched tyres are illegal and any garage fitting them thus could be sued in the event of an accident, or insurance claim.

Beautiful

Although i rather alen key head bolts over the male hex type head, they are less likely to round off when rebuilding.
