Have I missunderstood it when I say that Canadian vehicles where made by British specs, but the wheels/rims used where the "normal" US/Canadian spec in diametres??

Rolf ,

Reading Bill Greggs excellent 'Blueprint for Victory ' . He says at one point , the British sent some 900x16 rims to Canada , and that the Canadian built rims were to be made to the British specs .

As far as I know the Canadian type is similar if not identical to the British ones , I have not got a C15A / F15A rim here to measure up . The C8AX rims all have tyres on them so I cannot access the vital points to measure
