[Tigers] Factory steel wheels

This is a good question – I would like the answer too.

 

Looking at the pictures you sent – it looks like there is an extra support hit in the die above each stud hole on the later reinforced wheel.

I don’t see that on the early wheel.

 

There is a date stamp on the wheels under the Naïve plate but I don’t know if that helps with this question.

 

According to the Alpine Parts List

1214930                Road Wheel       from B9107291 – Series II

This road wheel is the only one listed for the Tiger – there is no indication about reinforcement so that could be an update to the drawing.

Purchased a stock steel wheel to use as a spare as opposed to a 13" LAT 70 which is too tall against the trunk shelf.

 

How do you determine the difference between the "early factory steel wheel" and the "later factory steel wheel (reinforced) Mk1a/Mk2?  What color code should the later reinforced Mk1a wheel be painted?

 

 

 



 

Thanks
