Pack racing products also sells a minilite replica called "Superlite". A
friend has some on a TR6 and my father has some on his GT6 and they've been
pleased. NFI...

Subject: [TR] Minilites on TR3
> LBCarCo sells Minilite replicas for aproximately $200 apiece

> Any listers have Minilite replicas on their TR3's?
