I have a 1959 Sprite with steel wheels that I am rebuilding. it has steel wheels and my wife wants wire wheels.
I purchased a early midget parts car with wire wheels for the switch over. When I removed the rear end I noticed it has the same 1/4 spring set up as the 1959 Sprite.
Do the complete rear ends interchange? They appear the same.
I understand that if you install the wire wheel axles in steel wheel housing that the axles are shorter. So I am sitting here looking at them 25' apart and they look like they would switch out ok. Then I would have the correct differential housing with wire wheel set up
