You might want to go ahead and switch out the front studs. It is a fairly straightforward switch. The rear is a different story as they are peened so that the only way to get them loose is to drill

You _must_ either shorten the studs or use a spacer when you install the wire wheels. Otherwise, the ends of the studs will foul the inside of the wheel, preventing it from seating properly and poss

After owning Brit cars for 38 years, I just bought my first one with WIRE WHEELS. Just lucky, I guess. Question: With the big securing nut loose, should the wheel have any circumferential movement? M

I'll add one other twist to Jack's question. I got some wire wheels from Dan Master's that have a little play in them. I noticed that if I put the hubs in the opposite way (from the front instead of

Ken, more is stronger. Triumph moved from 48 for TR2/3's to 60 for TR4's and later to 72. The reason was that the engine displacement was getting bigger and the thought was that more torque etc. woul

Good thought, Andy. Thanks. I do think, however, that the 48 and 60 spoke wheels do come in the same width across the rim. One of my friends had a 48 spoke spare (retrofitted by a DPO) on his TR4. Th

Just for the record, the original Dunlop 48 spoke, 15 inch wheels were 4 inches wide. The 60 spoke wheels were 4-1/2 inches. They were always interchangeable except, as I recall, on the early, drum b

Does anyone know what brand of wire wheels Rimmer Bros. sells? Their catalog for GT6 shows some nice looking rims, but there is no reference to manufacturer. Are these Dayton, Dunlop, or some 'off b

To all, I have a chance to buy an original set of TR-6 wire wheels. $500 for five painted wheels, splines, nuts, knock-off nuts, and tools. Assuming the wheels are true it SOUNDS like a pretty good d
