Having spoken to my friend again the problem he had was that he could not slide the British Wheels between the Canadian suspension forks. There was not sufficent clearance on the bearings.

Could these have been Lloyd Wheels if indeed there is a difference.

The ones I have obtained are all dated 1943-44 and the part number is the same as Canadian production minus the C on the TL.

As I said before the wheels are the same , I had loyd wheels Ford Canada and British wheels next to another , the only difference is the surface where the rubber is vulcanized on , but you cant see that difference unless the rubber is of . The seal caps vary , and that is maybe why they wont fit in a fork.

From memory the seal caps is what was he was refering to.

In theory then unless the seal caps were changed on later production British Wheel will not fit Canadian Carriers.

Default interchangeability

As far as I remember, they are interchangeable.

Yes , they are interchangeable , just change bearing & seal caps to suit. Just Canadian Winsor Carrier wheels are wider. Even T16 wheels are usuable , just they have different casted spokes .
