Don't laugh too hard but my car has three 60 spokes and 1 72 spoke on the rear right. They are painted and good condition. Before I buy a new one, I was wondering if anyone has a 60 spoke they can sell to me, maybe those who have opted to a 72 chrome and have old ones laying around. My spare is a 48 so it wont work.

Thanks.
 
I would be sure to get the flex connection on the down pipes and put new brass nuts on the exhaust manifolds to make it easier to remove things in the future. I´ve been able to do just about everything with the exhaust in place. If you are using the Moss hanger kits, you will bebest to hang everything in place before welding. There are extra pieces and some don´t fit. All trial and error with a bit of imagination required. It took a day to figure it out and then a couple of re-adjustments as I bottomed out on driveways. Then when you are happy you can take it off and take it to a welder in one piece and have it fused . Use a marking pen to help line things up before dismantleing in case things shift in transit. I´m in the process of this right now. The welder didn´t whve enough clearence to weld in place with out possible damage to the floor paint and thus a rust poroblem.
Good luck.
 
Sorry, this should have been posted under the exhaust post. I´m in PV,mexico for a few days the the screen keeps getting foggy due to humidity. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
 
Dick's is still one of the best. We had 3 inches of rain during dinner there the other night (about one and a quarter hours). Lightning and tequela on the beach, wow! Normal for this time of the year (we are there every year at this time). No Healey roads there.
 
Napoleon,

You can try calling Mike @ Valley Wire Wheel. He had some good spare wheels when I went there. It's important that the splines are in good shape or you can accelerate the wear to your hub splines.

A back-up plan - Try Allen Hendrix at Hendrix Wire wheel in Greensboro NC - too far to pick up, but I'm sure he ships - He was president of the A-H Club of Winston-Salem for years.
Sells Dunlop wheels as well as repairing, truing, etc.
Nice Guy...
