i have run at least 6 different sets of spokes . the KH bent were a pain as they are not tubless . the 1935 wires are great if straight . im currently running the 1935 wires tubless radials .
My A came with the 35 wires, but I am updating the 40 brakes to F-1's. I had to buy a set of spacers to mount the wires to the F-1 drums, but I wanted to keep them on the car.
I'd like to know if you actually get them in 6-8 wks. I ordered a set from Coker in Jan, 6-8 wks quickly became Aug...now the tentative ETA is 12/31/14. I picked up a cheapy set of steels for summer. I'd really like to know what the hold up is w/ these.
I run Wheelsmith 4.5x15 fronts and 8x18 rears. Around 15000 mile on them and no problems and they look great! Rex
aren't dodge/Plymouth/international and late model ford all the same stud pattern? ie 5 on 4 1/2" pcd.
I've got '35 straight spoke wires on both my rides and love the look. I found a set of KH bent spokes sitting in the dirt at a friend of a friend's farm a couple of weeks ago but I can't convince him that he should sell them to me.
Misread the post...early MoPar wires are 5 on 5-1/2 and you are correct on the later MoPar bolt patterns. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
The low mileage is due to life getting in the way. The A was rolled into the corner of the shop where it sat for 34 years. The 21,000 miles was put on in the few years I drove it. Most in 1971/73.
