I have a 1961 D-17 series II in good condition. I drained the fluid out of the tires and now find it a bit lite in the rear. I have one set of the A-C rear wheel weights from a WD and I have another set of the "F&H" rear wheel weights from a WC. 1. Will either one of these rear wheel weights fit my D-17 series II?? If so, which set is best to use?? Also what kind of bolts (size) should I use?? I obtained the weights at a sale and no bolts were included. Any assistance would be so much appreciated. Thanks!!

I know the ones from the WD will fit. Have put them on my D17 in the past. However, they will not be anywhere close to the weight from the fluid in the tires. They are only 135# each. I went back to the fluid when I put new tires on the '17. As for bolts, I'll have to look that up and get back. Dave

Either set should work. I've used WD wieghts on D17 and F&H wieghts on the WD45. The holes are the same distance apart. Not sure about the bolts.

Dave and Dave: Thanks so much for taking the time to respond, especially finding the bolt size for me. This is very helpful and I really appreciate it. Thanks so much. Going orange is going great!
