Rear uprights and 13" wheels?

Hi All,

Does anyone know if you can fit 13" wheels over the rear uprights on a Haynes roadster?

Ta,
James

Using the upright design in the book the best size to use is 15". As there is clearence issues on the wishbone 14" rims are a struggle to fit. If you were to change the design of the upright and convert the wishbone to rod ends on the hub end you might be in luck.

Kind regards

John

13" wheels

Hi everyone, this is my first post. I have stripped my donor Sierra, bought chassis materials and have a lovely set of original Revolution 4 spokes........then I read this:

"Hi, ive had to mod mine just to get 14" wheels on 9 move the bottom holes up and alter every thing else accordingly) 13" wheels wont fit the sierra front hub/brake assy either

Does this mean I cann't even use the original 13" donor wheels?

Thanks, Sad Malcolm
