aluminum disc wheels

Post by 949cathy » Fri Dec 25, 2020 4:04 pm

We will be offering a new product line of aluminum disc wheels for Model T and Model A. The difference will be the bolt pattern set up. There will be a 5 bolt pattern using 1/2" 20 lug nuts on Model A drums and for Ts using 26-27 wire wheel hubs. Email if there would be any interest for Model A disc wheels. View the wheel on our ebay store, http://stores.ebay.com/antique-t-motor-sports-llc email, bill7472@aceweb.com

For each different kind or size of wheel, new tooling must be made. The Model T wheel is considered a one off type custom wheel. It is like the one off wheels that are made for the custom car builders. We are trying to move into Model A hoping the price my be less. What we are finding not only in the wheels, but in other items that are repo., is casters and machinist are retiring leaving us to go and pay in the open markets. Where they are requiring hundreds and sometimes thousands of them at a time. This leaves us with parts that will never be sold. Example how many start bendix covers can you sell?
