I think it maybe a Lucas unit. I know of 2 vehicles in the UK who have them installed but I can't find any pictures. Nigel Hugo.

The picture of this car shows it is in Munich , Germany.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Michelin Style tire leavers, 3 of those and a big rubber mallet, a couple of long straight leavers, leave the wheel on the car. Do it on a hot day. Michelin is the way to go. Nigel Hugo

Hello Bernd, May I suggest you contact Neil Tuckett at Tuckett Bros in England, they have a very large stocK of used spares and they may be able to help you. If so DPD operates internationally in both our countries so I am sure they could get the part to you quickly and economically. Neil's email ad...

Subsequently on 2 oc...

Blockley exhibited at the Classic Motor Show at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, on the 8th to the 10th of November last year. The only size available at this moment is 30 x 3 1/2 but they told me that the 30 x 3 was scheduled to be available early in 2020. Joe Meakin has a set of 4 on hi...
