combat wheel info

[Tony Smith]

Each wheel has 2 starter threads that are slightly longer than the other six (in both styles, Countersunk head and Mushroom). The long studs are 2 3/16" and the short are 1 7/8".

...you are a sick puppy.....

Where did you found those....? NOS....

How many tons of them do you have..... hahaha .. is that your retirement plan?

Now you are going to tell us the boxes are marked Oshawa, Ontario.

Surprised Dirk does not have them in barrels..... he did chime in at one point indicating he had the smaller drum bolts and studs I beleive....

On the studs..... the mushroom caps are the most commonly seen on 16 inch rims. Interesting that we found some on 20 inch rims.

In your picture the recessed heads seem to be relieved on each side like plow bolts..... or was that done for welding penetration....?

BooBee..... envious.

Always something else to discover.

.....but I would like to apply some brute torque on your nuts Max......

...and speaking of loose nuts lying around..... I know of 3 or four around the Hammond Barn....

On more serious note Max...... the Champion brand name on the box.... is it Canadian or British...?

wonder if we can make a formal Heritage and historical claim for the repatriation of goods manufactured in Canada..... H**l ....they do it for old painting stolen by the German occupation force from former European owners.....

How would a used CNC cost to purchase....hihihi

my 20" wheels have the mushroom head on the studs,long and short.
i took half a wheel over to my friend with the cnc shop today.i'm waiting for a price on 200.they'll be grade 8 equivalent.

should i inquire about having nuts made up too?

i guess now would be the time to e-mail me with your wants..the more we have made the cheaper they get.

pm me 4 my direct e-mail.

cheers

While I was painting a group of 20" rims I noticed that some had the the mushroom heads that I think are "normal" for the 20" rims but two of them had the flat/recessed heads that I associate with 16" rims. I had understood that the 16" rims needed the flat heads for clearance on the brake drums but that the 20" had gone to the mushroom heads for several reasons. Reasons include that it was simpler to form a straight sided hole in the rim than a taper and doesn't rely on matching tapers, easier to weld, stronger due to flat bearing surfaces and full thickness rim stock. Photos of the two styles attached.

Bob you could have the nuts in Canada in early March as Mathew and his family from Mount Forest are coming down under a week from today.
We are looking forward to seeing them again and I will have to take him for a short blitz trip for old times sake.
