Randall,
I believe that 3.5" wheels were used up until the Mk2 then 4.5" through end
of production.....I'd have to check my extensive Spit library (of three
books!) at home to be sure. This would perhaps explain the comment that the
Spit wheels would be larger than the Sports 6's 3.5" wheels but only if you
use later wheels.
I'm sure you'll hear from the Spit archivists soon to validate my comments.
