| Just wondering if you have to drill holes in the wheel. A pic from the inside of the wheel would be nice. |

Ok. Thanks. Now about the rears...I've heard it said that you can use another B wheel center as a weight on each wheel. Does it do much good? How much does a B wheel center weigh? Thanks

Really? I thought the centers were the same for both rubber and steel wheels. That's what I see in most of the photos I see of steel wheel B's. Bill Long...time for you to chime in!!

The ones for steel wheels have 4 mouse holes instead of 2 and are 2" thick, double what the standard ones are. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |
