Stacie,
Road wheels for 16 inch tyres were part #131904, in the TD/C section of
the Service Parts List. Can't imagine why someone would want them, unless
to avoid changing rear axle gears on different tracks.
Luggage carrier assembly is listed as part #136347, in the "optional
extras" part of the list, as is the
Double spare wheel carrier, "ventilated disc wheel," part 500060,
also in the optional extras.
Competition tyres, ventilated disc wheel, part #131904
Badge bar assembly, part #139698
The solid disc wheel was used for only a short time, through chassis
0500, according to the parts list, and was superceded by drilled disc
wheel at chassis 0501.
I have seen pix of TDs with two spares mounted. I think it was in an
old article about hillclimbing in general and Dellows in
particular--magazine date about 1955 or so....
