Tyre sizes

[Lynn Eades]

The early MB's and GPW's, came with 600 x 16's. Then later on they changed to 6.50 x 16. These being slightly bigger in diameter, will give you a slightly better road speed, if that helps.

I was going to suggest ebay too as there had/ or is some tyres on there at the moment for ww2 jeeps.
Great looking jeep by the way, impressive work.

Hi All

Thank you for your replies and advice. Very much appreciated. That is what I have come to like from MLU members, everyone is ready to help a newcomer.

RICHARD - Thank you for the e-bay site, I will follow up with them. I did contact a supplier in NSW who asdvised he could not source into SA, I did not even get a price from him. Local suppliers in SA have quoted priced around $225.00 each plus tubes and gators.

LYNN - I did not know our Jeeps tyre sizes were increased, That is what I like about the MLU I have learned so much from members.

RYAN - Yes mate I am very p[leased with my Jeep results so far and can't wait to start driving it. But Iam at a stage where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and must stay focused and finish the project properly. As you can see I am going WWII Dessert colours and fitout.

Thanks again guys for your help.

Cheers

great work on the jeep so far, because you have done it as a desert jeep do not forget thet the bonnet should have the RAF roundell and not the invasion star. John.

Little Joe, this ois a picture of a sand coloured jeep with the roundell that I restored for a client about 20 years ago. It looked so good I wanted to keep it, John.

Your restoration looks great and I can see what you mean regarding the Rounell, looks impressive. Your Jeep colour looks very similar to what I am using, My colour is called, "Sandbank" Your canopy is also the same colour as mine. Boy I am straining at the bit to finish the project, currently being held up due to waiting for some crucial parts which I Put in a "safe place" so I would not lose them, now I cant find them, so had to order new ones , what is the bet when I finish I will trip over them, very frustrating, or a sign of early dementure.

Cheers

Tony,
You are not alone in your early dementia. The only way to find the safley stored item IS to buy a new one.
