Re: Wheel interchange
All tires were rationed during WW2,a family was allowed five tires of any condition and had to prove an 'essential for the war effort' reason to buy new from 1941 to 1945..all tires,not just 4.75-19 or 21..so the idea you could buy new 16" tires for your converted model a is wrong,in fact, the whole WW2 excuse for 16" rims is wrong..

Service Bulletin page 328 says that B style wheels should NEVER be installed on AR hubs as they donot fit correctly and doing so is dangerous and will result in cracked wheels with possible wheel failures. Fig 662 shows why hubcaps are being forced off by the hubs. Similar but different problems if installing AR wheels on B hubs. Last edited by Benson; 09-19-2020 at 10:29 PM. |

Re: Wheel interchange
That explains it, that was a real tragedy.

Re: Wheel interchange
No, it's not Gallipoli. Although a bit longwinded, this will explain
https://www.pacificwar.org.au/battau...Australia.html And another https://www.naa.gov.au/learn/learnin...ston-churchill Churchill was prepared to leave Australia to fall to the Japanese so long as he had our troops to help defend England in an invasion that never came. A lying, betraying @$$hole! BTW, this was after the Japanese had launched an air attack already on Darwin (in our north). Americans still seem to believe that the 1 hour and 15 minutes single wave attack on Pearl Harbour was terrible, and it was but the attack on Darwin went on for 6 weeks and they came back 69 times. This country was under extreme threat and that #$%^& betrayed us like that. We remember Churchill with revulsion and the relation between Australia and the UK has never been the same since. When we say "We will remember them", it cuts both ways.
