Default 5 stud 20 inch rims

Hi Harry:

I'm restoring a 1953 Yugoslavian copy of a 1942 Zis 3 76.2mm Russian cannon. It too has skinny 5 stud 20 inch rims on it. I just had the rims sand-blasted and painted so I'll post some photos and measurements. I'd be very interested in finding out what rims the Soviets copied- Ford, GM, ??

Mike

I put a spare set of CMP drums on and that will make it easier if I ever have a flat. Fit like they were meant to be on there!

Default Brakes all done!

Got the Mechanical parking brake all sorted out and the new hydraulics all done, no leaks and should last with silicone fluid.
