Re: Wheel run out
For 85+ year old Model A Wire Wheels, not used for high speed racing, most recommend 1/8" run out sideways, i.e., wobble.
However, here is a major problem when verifying Model A wheel wobble.
Many never check to see that sometimes, "only" the circumference of the out-side rim is bent in or out; and furthermore, this type of wheel defect can be most difficult to see when the tire is mounted & inflated.
Many Model A wheels took a terrible beating by rough, gorilla mechanics and tire changers changing tires who used crow bars, large heavy hammers, blacksmith vices, and what not to change tires.
