thisismatt Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Seems like any combo that gives you close to the sidewall height you're looking for in 14" is out of stock... Quote Link to comment
jagman Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 For tires you may want to check with suppliers to the racing crowd like sasco or hoosier. They carry all sizes for the race crowd including treaded tires. 1 Quote Link to comment

I need a 165/55r14. FWIW, I was able to get 185/50-14s (same outside diameter) from the UK for a reasonable price. And if you can squeeze it, a 185/55-14 is reasonably common... Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted May 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Some folks may have already seen this in my 1200 thread but I figured I'd post it here as well since I just installed the same 'kit' on the 510. I designed and 3d printed this light socket repair 'kit', which allow you to still mount light bulbs into tail light housings with broken sockets. This kit can be installed without taking the light apart. and is composed of 3 parts. The square part fits through the housing and allows the round mounting point to thread on. You can then install an LED bulb. All of that is shown below. So far I've tested this on a 1200 sedan and a 510. I'm assuming it would work on most tail lights that use the same light socket holder pattern. What it looks like installed (on a 1200) Edited May 26, 2022 by Draker 4 Quote Link to comment

We just bought new light sockets for a 1200 and they were listed as 80s Honda. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment
