[Healeys] Removing Fender Spears

[Bob Spidell]

Like this?

I read somewhere the original wood rim wheels were made with obeechi 
wood, which has since become extinct. Have also read they were made with 
marine plywood; anyone know for sure? I have one on my BJ8 that I think 
is one of the original 'Derrington' style, though I don't know the maker.
