[Roadsters] EXT :Re: remaining roadsters

[O'Farrell, Fergus P (AS)]

Lots on tire rack for 175/13's.  I can't seem to recreate the list, but all
the 165 choices said "trailer service tires" on them.
14's and a bit lower profile (like 60 series) will leave the speedo the same
and make the tire choices a lot easier.

My speedo bounces around like a freakin EKG readout, so accuracy isn't one of
my big concerns.

(now odometer is 10-15% off, which makes backroads rallies a challenge because
I am constantly having to write down my "compensation factor", then = way thru
I just give up and pick a car/friend going at my pace, and enjoy the ride)

Happy roadstering,
Fergus O

I'm sitting here in Glendale, California with a running 1963 1500 3 seat SPL
310 that my sister bought new and I have owned since 1967.

By the way, it needs tires, 165 SR 13's are on it now.  I posted an inquiry a
few weeks ago about getting flashier rums, but learned from Les at Classic
Datsun in Vista, CA that such rims are unavailable for these early roadsters.
I checked with one tire store and they could not even special order this size
of tires for the stock rims.

Any suggestions where they can be obtained?

Much like Woodstock attendance, I believe of the (1500) 67.5 2L cars, only
(2250) remain.

Of (400) 3 seater 1500's, only 6 remain due to drum brake learning curve.

52% of 1970 SPL's have been mounted on Jeep frames.  (insert banjo/bluegrass
music excerpt here)
