Straightening spokes...

[39portlander]

I have been busy, scored some nice wire wheels that just needed some TLC before they head off for powder coating.

The pictured wheel spoke straightener set is from Specialty motor cams in Plymouth Wisconsin. Part# SMC0016T, I think with shipping they were just over a $100.00

If Specialty motor cam's sounds familiar that's because they make the Stipe A-B and T cams. The super 280 woke up my Fordor and perfect with the Ruckstell rear end.

Prior to having your wheels p.c.'d, you might consider having them magnufluxed around the wheel centers & lug nut holes - I have a T in here that was recently restored and this is what I found on 3 of the 5 wheels !

Thanks for the heads up Steve, I can see why the model A rims are larger in that area for strength.

The "outward snout" after the lugs on an A are considerably pronounced compared to the T wire wheels, hope my set have no cracks.
