Thanks Don, I actually have a set of Coker radials for the front that I've never mounted. So a tube will run OK with radials? Is a tube for a radial different from a regular inner tube? When I talk to the youngsters at the tire shop, they go blank about this subject. I'll call Coker - good idea.
I think these old wheels also had a rubber liner against the actual spoke bases inside the wheel - at least one had a partial remains of one. I guess I could make one from an old inner tube, then a tube, then the tire.
Do you know where to get the adapter rings? I see Speedway has something like that but the description diesn'r really say that is what they are for. Thanks again :-) T omt
