Wheels for Bofors Guns

A lot of the surviving ex-Portugese Bofors Guns ended up on Land Rover Wheels and Rims for some reason.

Does anyone have a spare set of rims or are they very hard to source now?

Neil, is it the 13 inch ones you need?

Neil,

If the Bofors has tubular outriggers which are removed from the stowed position and inserted into holes in the platform frame to come into action, you need the 13" rims with 9.00 - 13 balloon tyres.

If on the other hand the outrigger arms are hinged to swing out into position then you require 20 inch rims with 32X6 ( 6.00 - 20 ) tyres.
