Pieter,
Longstone tyres are very good and if you are buying 5 they will do you a good deal. Your chassis has the later bent extentions which are much stronger for supporting the rear of the body than the original Ulster flat ones. I have an Ulster replica built on the correct 1930 chassis but I removed the extentions and replaced them with ones like yours. They have to be cut and welded to make them fit under the tail and I welded a piece of 25mm tube across the rear ends for extra strength. I built my car over 25 years ago in aluminium and there are no cracks on the body sides. All the best, Dave.
