Penulty regarding type of tyres

Post by **Leyland** » Wed Aug 04, 2004 1:32 pm

Bill
I have aposting in 'other' regarding the question of radial versus crossply tyres. Interesting comments!
I f the car was being shown (which i hope to when complete) would there be a penulty regarding the tyres if the car has radials which of course were not original fitment?

For concours there would be a points penalty.

However, you could have two sets of wheels, one set fitted with radials (everyday use) and one set of crossplies for showing.

Leyland, sorry for the delay. If crossply tyres were specified for your car and you fit radials, there is a penalty of 2 marks. There is also an additional 2 mark penalty if the wrong valve caps are fitted.
However don't let this frighten you off. If you would like a full set of rules, just let me know.

Actually Bill, I would not mind a set of rules purely out of interest if at all possible. I know my car is WAY off concours, but I would be interested to know all the nitty gritty details of the points system.

Thanks.

Valve caps!! Crumbs - i think that's put me off concours again!

I didn't even know there was a 'correct' type.

Not a problem Cam, just let me know your address and I will put one in the post.

Thanks very much Bill, I have sent you a PM (private message) with my address.

Oh and actually, it's in Minor Matters too as I am the branch contact for the Potteries branch (area 10).

Would it be nice to have a set of rules we can download...

Post by **simmitc** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 12:44 pm

Yes it would. Might generate a bit more support too.

Sounds great - I'd be fascinated to see them.

I'm just curious about these valve caps.......

Post by **chickenjohn** » Tue Feb 07, 2006 12:53 am

Yes, I'd like a copy of the rules too, and I'd like to know what loses marks at concours in terms of underbody repairs, welding etc....

I can answer that one they should be of the metal type and not the modern plastic ones.

Post by **Scott** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 10:04 pm

Ah, that's cleared that up then.
Thanks Kevin

.

I'll have to go & buy some new ones now to replace my black plastic ones

Just so that there is no mistake, they should be of the Shrader type, without the valve removal tool.

Hope this helps.

Just out of interest Judge, did you manage to sort out a copy of the concours rules? If you need them typing up on Acrobat or Word my eldest will happily type them up (as part of her college coursework) as she's doing a touch type course. And it would keep her out of my hair for a few hours
