Mystery wheels

[Glen Plumridge]

If it all works out (fingers crossed and touch every bit of wood I see) there is an LP2 and a riveted british MK1 at the place I am going to this week.

Both are chopped down and the running gear is spread about so I will see what is there.

I thought the wheels were too wide because of the lip distance away from the spoke, not thinking that they may just be mounted the "wrong" way around, and h aving read that the track horns are 3.5" on Aust track and 2.5" on Brit and Canadian track.

Is the rubber supposed to taper toward the track and narrow a little to fit in between the track horns neatly? Or is it a square profile in section?

Still learning all about the carriers and the variety of methods used in their manufacture.
