hard start corrected with new fuel accumulator

Thanks to everyone who has ever posted tech answers to posted problems. My '80 450 was starting hard when hot and through the previous posts I figured that the fuel accumulator was the culprit. Sure enough, she fires up great now no matter the circumstance.
I also replaced all the brake pads and it seems to have solved the squealing brake problem. The previous owner had recently replaced the tires and had mounted the blackwalls out (like i've seen on every 107 around) so i tried something different, I reversed the tires so that they are whitewalls now. I personally think it looks good (but then again, i'm a little strange) so here are some pics, any thoughts?
