[Healeys] Spokes and Truing Wheels

[gradea1 at charter.net]

Harold- I made up this table with an axle hub mounted vertically and a
fixed post each side using two coffee stir sticks as markers or
guides. After lacing the wheel, rotate to first get rid of up/down
wobble and then tighten to keep wheel round-equally from each post.

You are correct the spokes and nibs are 10-32, but the thread angle is
Whitworth (55 degrees-I believe) Use a British tap to clean up
threads. Don't use SAE.
Its a tedious task but I did all 5 wheels for my 100, and they run
perfect. Check a bicycle/motorcycle shop for procedure. Have fun, Hank

	Hello, 

	What is the thread size for the spokes and nipples It looks like
10-32 but a threading die doesn’t seem to fit. Also, does anyone
have a good procedure for truing wheels? I was told Out of Round first
then Wobble. I did the Out of Round on one wheel and could get to
0.050” but no better. 

	Harold
