I have about 30 new/old stock steering boss's for various early cars,(1 or 2 maybe even rare) however I cannot find anywhere a reference for them...They are in Black boxes with 100+ written on and a part number. Can anybody throw any light as to where I might find reference to these please?

Cant be 100 per cent sure but i beleive "John Brown Wheels" were Stockists of the 100 + Range. But think they went out of business years ago.
Possibly Halfords were stockits as well. ? Ime Sure 100+ also had a range of Alloy Wheels as well, popular on Minis and Fords.
Remember seeing 100+ Adverts in Custom Car in the late 70s and 1980s

Put me down for an E-Type Boss if you have one !

100+ are/were the company that is now Team Dynamics (wheels). So it's probably worth getting in touch with them directly.

Thanks for all the info guys, this is starting to fit all the pieces together as I believed that the bosses were connected to Steve Neal who was a 60s rally driver or similar. I understand that there is a Matt Neal connected to Team Dynamics, so just like detective work looks like it may end in a result with thanks for your help.
I'm going to mail Team dynamics to attempt to find the link, and quite excited that these bosses may be from some special motors. They've certainly been sat in a shed for 35 years, so hopefully these leads gleaned from here will end in a result. I will certainly let you know. cheers.

Im pretty sure Steve Neal is Matts Father. Here's a pic from the BTCC in 1991 with Matt driving an M3 with the 100+ sponsorship.



Oh, and best of luck with your search!
