Cheng-Shin tyres, like the C180 or C199? Like an old Bates style tyre. Not sure if there is a size that fits but its the look. There are some Bates remakes out there too. Just google Bates tyres.

XS-2 (72-73) engine: okay, rebuild is pretty straight forward, but what I want to know is can I use an engine case from another year; what year(s) will work? The reason being that the top half of the engine case has a piece missing out of it (another post, earlier). I may decide to rephase it...
