Re: Questions on brake drums masks on my TC.

The disks behind the wheels on the TC is a very very rare aftermarket item referred to as the "BEER TRAY". This is the 3rd time I have seen beer trays on a TC in the past 2 months.

Re: Wheel paint color?

I have researched this and have selected a High Performance Paint that I now offer in my catalog: formulated for wheels and is the best match for TC wheels that I have found. My part number is WH128, $17.95 per can. 1 can does 2 wheels.

Re: Here at last

Mark,
I have TC 7670 and just looked at the numbers.
First: the zero is undersized exactly to the same proportion as yours.
Second: the 6 on my car is the same exact as your 9 except upside down.
Conclusion: Looks like 3409 to me.
Cheers'
