Are the bolt threads standard size or British Withworth (spelling ?) odd size. It may be worth cleaning up and saving along with the other one stamped KH 1941 maybe a very early rare 6 bolt KH wheel.

Bob, This was the "spare" I got from Brian Gough with the Prototype. It was not on the truck. As for the thread size - beats me. You may have to get out the thread guages to determine the thread size.

I will sandblast the rim the next time I am out at the barn, and will also photograph the results.

So, what the hell is a KH wheel??
