Look at the bright side. As soon as you fabricate one, you'll find one.

Exactly! Happened many a time. Restore what you have first and only make the part as a last resort.

Would not be difficult to fabricate one and then texture to look like cast aluminum. Been there done that.

Thanks for the advice Henry

I had some rough ones of these but unfortunately sold to someone to make a set some time ago. 322347 16-02-2009 American Welding Company Wire Wheels.jpg 322351 16-02-2009 American Welding Company Wire Wheels.jpg 322352 16-02-2009 American Welding Company Wire Wheels.jpg 322353 16-02-2009 American We...

As close as I got to owning one is this original Catalogue.

I am still looking for at least 2 of these unique wire wheels for the car or just the centres. The centre is the same both sides of the wheel so it can be mounted on either side. Fits a standard T hub and flange. 303854 14-03-2004 1920-1925 Ted King Rajo Wire Wheels 01.jpg 303857 14-03-2004 1920-192...

Dec 5th 1925 was the 100th anniversary of the first Speedway meeting at the 5/6 mile banked concrete track at Maroubra, Sydney, Australia. Ted King raced his rajo there after quick repairs were carried out after his crash at Newcastle Speedway weeks before. It was a mad rush to put the car together ...

Still looking for one of these inlet manifolds to fit a B BB BBR Rajo if anyone has one. Thanks for Mark Chaffin for the use of this photo. Same as the one on my car in the above photo taken of the car in 1925.

Still looking for at least a "body filler impression" of the wording and top profile of this cap or buy a readable cap. Have a USA address to post to.

Still looking for one of these headlamp switches if anyone can help. I have a USA address to send to as in you don't have to send overseas.

Thanks

Mark

Mine are pressurised via the rocker cover hold down stud. Stands are in steel and clamp onto the shaft so shafts can be used for oil ways.

I have one spare but it's in Australia.

Wanted Dayton number 3 knock on hub cap as in photos. Plan on making a pattern to cast them for my Fronty Ford.

Thanks for the update, Kevin. Be nice to find some wheel centres.

Wanted 1915-16 Headlamp switch as in the photograph. I have a USA address to send to as in you don't have to send overseas

Thanks

Mark

A better photo of the drive for the water pump. the sprocket on the cam gear is for an earlier version of the same motor driving a magneto on the right side of photo.

One of those wheels popped up here on the forum a long while ago. Not sure if it could be found again… Thanks Kevin. If you see anymore, please let me know. Just the centres would be good. They are the same both sides and fit a T hub perfectly. I do believe they were made to fit T fords and could h...

"A good friend in USA who has helped me out for many years is also looking for one if anyone else has one for sale or just the rear cover plate and gear. Any help appreciated."

Mark- I have the gears for these in stock, just FYI.

Thanks Dan but Mike Bender helped him out via a friend of his.

The car its from 1927-28. You can see the Solex Carburettors and little aluminium air tubes in this photo. Still chasing at least 2 of these wire wheels.

Solex side draft.

Thanks to Steve I have the Bosch Magneto drive fitted to the Rajo 8V now. Just like last raced in 1933.

WTB Dayton #3 pin drive Knock on hub cap for pattern to cast a set of new ones for my Fronty. Damaged ok. Still looking for at least a "body filler impression" of the wording and top profile of this cap or buy a readable cap. Any help appreciated. Thanks to the member here for the use of the photos....

I'll take the headlamp switch, Steven

Thanks Kevin. I will try and assemble a pair of BB's this week and see what i need to complete them. Grandkids here at present so might not have a lot of time.

Does anyone know where I can get bands that hold the air intake to the body of an S or SR Winfield carby. Looking for BB and C sizes. Also linkages for BB and choke lever /cable lock parts.

Have other parts to trade.

Thanks

Mark

Built by Doc Pruden for Shell Hill climbs in the 70's possibly. Was red originally.

This is not his red DO Fronty. Totally different car he built.

Wanted

Rajo B,BB,BBR single inlet updraft manifold with water tube as in this photo to rebuild this Australian original race car to its 1925 form. Any help appreciated.

Thanks Dan

I probably will need one down the track. Will chase you up.

Mark

Thanks for the update Mike. Glad you got one.

Wanted, gear and plate to suit Bosch Magneto drive that replaces Generator for Mike Bender. Whole unit would is ok too.

Thanks

Mark

A good friend in USA who has helped me out for many years is also looking for one if anyone else has one for sale or just the rear cover plate and gear. Any help appreciated.

Mark

Thanks Steve. I believe we corresponded many moons ago. My postcode is 4552 Queensland Australia.

Mark

Wanted, a Bosch Magneto setup that replaces the Generator.

Think this is what Wayne is talking about

Here is a photo of the same wheels on a 1926 Pickup from another post here. This photo looks to be taken in Africa. All evidence suggests the were available mostly outside USA and possibly manufactured in the UK.

Here is a later edition of "The Original Book Of The Ford", printed in England. This is number 9. I am sure an add was in one of these if anyone can help.

low race car :? It is low slung, as appears the oil pan is too low :shock: , but note the wheels, the racer chassis is on jack stands, while the wheels hang low off that channel lift. Wheels on the track and the racer has clearance. Correct Dan, wheels are hanging below the height of the lifting be...

Alan

Nice simple low race car. Think the photo maybe taken in South America.

Mark

Thank you Dan for your reply and research. I haven't seen the wheels you show, before. I think they are similar but not the same. 20 odd years ago, I think I found an add of the ones I'm looking for but have lost the copy I had. Am sure it came from a 1910's -20s English magazine called "The book of...

Has anyone seen adds for, or these wire wheels before? Fits a standard T hubs, 30 x 3 1/2 rims. Am looking for a pair of centres or whole wheels.

Any help appreciated.
