Wire wheel looking for

Post by Craig Leach » Mon Nov 08, 2021 6:58 am

I'm looking for one or two wire wheels for a freinds T, He has one that has broken spokes & would like to have a spare. The hubs look to be British?
Thanks.
Craig.

Craig,
These folks can probably come up with some replacement spokes for you.

Pretty sure this is a standard MG wheel (TC/TD?). Check the Moss Motors catalog...

looking for wire wheel
You should start your own wanted ad, along with saying what wire wheel you need. Besides the Ford Model T welded wire wheels, there are many other brands and types made for and fitted to Ts over the years, that could include Model A with adaptors.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

If they are, as pointed out MG wire wheels, how many do you need :D; https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R ... l&_sacat=0
Thanks for the info on whom the person is. Neither posting connect to one to the other, and considering how often people piggyback off other ads, did not know. ;)

Thanks Mark,
The wheel size seems to be the hard part to find. I'm not sure M.G. ever used a 21" wheel so these may be a highbred wheel. Yes some times people piggy back posts I did that once with out intending to kind of embarrassing when you figure out you did. Seems to be a rare wheel. I found 4 in 14" at goodguys but I don't think the oil pan will clear with those =)

Could they be older like for MG-TC, TD or maybe Singer? AACA has a British section, wonder if maybe a post there and some help might be forth coming; https://forums.aaca.org/forum/63-britis ... aguar-etc/

They could be but the size of the wheel was never definitely stated other than " I'm not sure M.G. ever used a 21" wheel so these may be a highbred wheel" rim width would help and also the number of splines also a picture of the hubs and hubcap/knockoff.TA,TB,TC where 19"x2.5", 48 Spoke,
