Bill,
I've got a Special Tuning booklet, C-AKD 4034 F that lists a 14 inch,
5.5 inch rim 70-spoke wire wheel, part number C-AHH 8530. I've NEVER
seen a reference to a competition 60-spoke wire wheel, and I have a copy
of the parts book for that era with competition stuff listed as well.
You DO have a rarity! Assuming you have the 70-spoke version, I'd be
most interested in a possible purchase - depending upon condition.
Please describe "fairly new" - have they been raced hard?
By the way, Anders Clausager wonders if the "70" is perhaps incorrect
and should be "72". I note that the 5.5 in wires for the MGB sold today
are all 72 spoke models, but all the BL literature refers to 70!
