    For Sale AH Sprite Axles and Hubs

    I have a pair of AH Sprite axles with wire wheel hubs for sale. Moss is asking $200 each for the hubs and $220 each for the axle shafts. Part numbers stamped on the hubs are BTA688 & 689. That's an incredible $840 for both sides. I'm asking a mere $450 for the pair plus shipping by your choice...

    Rear tire scrubbing!!?

    My most recent project with my 69 AH Sprite is tire scrubbing, specifically on the right hand rear side. I have a set of 13" wire wheels on this car. The sidewall of the tire is rubbing against the side of the fender on right hand turns and curves. My current measurement between my two rear...

    Hello from San Diego, mounting tires on wire wheels

    For any of you living in San Diego, do you know any experienced tire installers that know how to mount on wire wheels? For an introduction, I am the third owner of a unrestored Triumph 61 TR3A. Haven’t done a lot of work on it, other than getting it running and cleaning out the coolant system...

    TR2/3/3A Recondition old wire wheels or buy new?

    I think I know the answer here but wanted to be sure. It appears my stepson will finally be in a position to take the TR-3 to his place in Texas towards the end of the year. I have been rounding up my cache of old parts and shipping them down. I have a set of 4 wire wheels in very bad shape. I...

    TR2/3/3A Wire Wheels

    I'm toying with the idea of putting wire wheels on my '58 TR3a. I have a set of 72 spoke wires off of a TR6 which are in VG condition. I also have 5/16" spacers which I hope will preclude the need to cut the wheel lugs. Will this combination work? Anyone done this? Any reason why I should not do...

    TR2/3/3A Wheel hop of the unconventional kind

    Hello all. I was driving down the highway today and after exiting on to a side road, the driver of the car behind me indicated I should pull over. He told me my TR is bouncing down the highway in the back end and my rear tires both looked like they were "out of round". I could feel it but had no...

    TR4/4A Will these tires/wheels work on my 1966 TR4a, IRS?

    I have a chance to get a set of 4 72 spoke 15" rims with Kumho ECSTA 195/65R/15 tires already mounted. The tires are wider for sure, which should give me better handling, and they're a bit taller, and the 72 spoke wheel should make for smoother riding. I currently have the original wire wheels...

    Bugeye wire wheel dust caps

    I've recently had the front end rebuilt on my 59 Bugeye with wire wheel hubs. A few questions this novice would appreciate help with. I purchased new dust caps but they are smaller diameter than the ID of the hub. Is this common? Do we need to flare the rim of the dust cap somehow? If yes, what...
