Default Carrier Wheels

Something I am sure that has been asked before, but are British Carrier Wheels interchangeable with Canadian wheels.

I seem to remember someone saying that machining was necessary.

I ask because I picked up four very nice British wheels today.

British and Canadian wheels are the same .Just the bearing seal arrangement can be different. Windsor Carrier Wheels are wider , also the tracks .

Yes, the wheels are the same, not only the seals can be different also the bearings can be, I have seen at least 3 dfferent types of bearing, the plain bearrings and 2 types of rllerbearings, the normal SKF 6204 and one with a very little ofset of the inner ring when you want to replace that ona for a 6204 you wil need a shim to let your saeling run free from the wheel.

Having spoken to my friend again the problem he had was that he could not slide the British Wheels between the Canadian suspension forks. There was not sufficent clearance on the bearings.

Could these have been Lloyd Wheels if indeed there is a difference.

The ones I have obtained are all dated 1943-44 and the part number is the same as Canadian production minus the C on the TL.

As I said before the wheels are the same , I had loyd wheels Ford Canada and British wheels next to another , the only difference is the surface where the rubber is vulcanized on , but you cant see that difference unless the rubber is of . The seal caps vary , and that is maybe why they wont fit in a fork.

From memory the seal caps is what was he was refering to.

In theory then unless the seal caps were changed on later production British Wheel will not fit Canadian Carriers.

Default interchangeability

As far as I remember, they are interchangeable.

Yes , they are interchangeable , just change bearing & seal caps to suit. Just Canadian Winsor Carrier wheels are wider. Even T16 wheels are usuable , just they have different casted spokes .

Hello, I made a mistake with the bearingnumber , it should be 6408
