Raptor paint chips easily so I'd be cautious using it on a chassis. I use POR15 on chassis.

Fair point - I didn't intend to have a dig at anybody or anything...👍👍

It's just one of those things - until something becomes popular it's on the fringes. If, in ten years time, Davantis are ...

I've had the Davanti Terratoura AT for the last few years. Great tires both on and off the road. I've not had any issues in the wet. Where they are really good is clearing the muck out of the treads ...

Thanks Blackwolf. I need to replace the aluminium seat box side/end panel on the near side then attach a new steel battery box up into it. I'm fairly apt at metal fabrication but have never had a need ...

Replacing the end panel on the series 2 seat box. I'd like to solid rivet rather than pop rivet it together, however, don't want to spend hundreds on a pneumatic rivet gun. Has anyone hand-rivetted t ...

If the farm track has animal crap down it and that was thrown up inside it's probably the cause. As bad as salt.

Another positive vote for the Davanti Terratouras. Has had them for a few years now and great on and off the road. I'd not pay the premium for branded tires now.

I have a 1966 2a with an original chassis. Well original if you ignore the new bits and pieces welded on and patched Laughing

It's only for summer use so will be no road salt issues.

I'd be tempted to pop down the local scrap yard and see if they have one from a Merc or Audi. Most modern cars have these rather than a spare. Most are never used and should do the job.
