[Zmagnette] Wire Wheels(again Sorry)

[Wayne & Isabel Hardy]

I would think that if you use the MGA wire wheel hubs on the Magnette, then you can use wires fitting for the A. They do look cool those wires and the small Jags did come with them,( the Mk I and MK II small sedans) but boy they can be a pain to keep clean and keep true and round.  I think I’d do the alloys myself before the wires on a car I drove.

Hi all,   

In my list administrator's role, I just received the following note from Mike Hickman intended for the list. Mike, apparently I neglected to change your email address on the list correctly (' thought I did do it, but alas, no).  ' Think all is OK now - I'll rely on Mike to tell me if his list access is working as it should.

Meanwhile, please direct your attention to Mike's message below. 

Thanks!
Allen

I am still trying to get these Wire wheels built for my '58 ZB Varitone on the tech sheet there is a measurement from the face of where you bolt the wheel on to the outside edge of the Caliper or Caliper Bracket whichever is more, this has to be 1/4" or less as I measure it  is 1/2". Dayton wants to know what other types of wires have been used on Magnettes, I remember from prior discussions here that TR 6 and MGA wheels have ben mentioned I think. I want to use there "Dental" system so I can use  real knock off. I am ready to grind off 1/4 inch from each caliper to make it fit but don't want to do this.

Can someone Please help hee?

Thanks,
Mike H.
