Road Wheels, not Idlers
Hi Justin,
Grant roadwheels. I could sure use them, but spondooly is limited at moment. Probably just a typo cos I think you mean Dayton rather than Drayton. Also were made by BF Goodrich and Firestone (that I know of). Regards Alex -- M3 Grant, Valentine, WM20 BSA, Ferrets.

Grant wheels
I don't know who or how many companies fabricated these wheels or rollers but they were made in a bit of a hurry. I've encountered different internal diameter (the centre) and fairly rough machining not that it affects their role in any way. Also the centre spacers that clamp between the bearing inner races - I've seen some nicely machined all over and some just round bar still with mill scale bored out for the axle bolt and faced off to correct length.
I've also heard that the inner spacers vary slightly in length and if they get mixed up the twin ball race bearings at each end can nip up which isn't good. Later roadwheels of the Sherman type I think had tapered rollers. Regards Alex

They look like my Sexton road wheels. The same sloppy manufacturing. All welded. Splatter everywhere. The gussets not evenly spaced. Mine are all Good year, made in Canada in 44. I finished painting mine today. Jesse.

Justin and Alex
Gentlemen, if you decide to come to some arrangement I would be happy to pick them up when I finally get to Justin's place to drop carrier bits, pick up a Landy bit and bring the grant wheels b :thup with me to WA for Alex. As long as you can both be patient as my travel plans are not yet set in concrete...
Also Alex, I thought where you live you just have to dig around the petunia patch and pull out a nugget orr two when you need some 'spondooley' ? Cheers  Phill
