[Healeys] wire wheels - again

[Jackson Krall]

I don' t have one yet but some claim the bubble balancer is the best way to go w/wire wheels. You might try balancing your brake drums to rid the existing shake. Maybe that can also be done on the bubble? Also, if the wheels are not "true" I doubt you can get a proper balance.
After a rash of ripped tubes by tire shops I bought an inexpensive manual tire changer on ebay and now do the mounting myself.
