Wanted: Lend Lease Chev rim and tyres in AUS

[motto]

Hi Lionel

I have difficult posting photos but there are some good ones of wheels and lock rings on the G503 forum.

If you can bring up the G503 board index, scroll down to "Other MV's US"

Click on "Trucks 1/2 Ton Thru 2 Ton"

Click on "Progress on G-506 Wheels and Tires" Page 2

Scroll down to wheel and lock ring photos.

These photos give a good view of the wheel with its groove and the full circle lock ring.

Look closely at the lock rings, (you may be able to enlarge the pictures), and you will see a narrow land or ledge around the inner circumference. As you follow this ledge away from the notch for the pinch bar removal tool you will see that the ledge narrows to nothing then reappears again. These relieved areas are what make it possible to install and remove the rings.

The wheels pictured are for the 1-1/2 ton Chev 4x4 "Yanky Joe" and are the same as GMC and Stude 6x6's. The L/L Chev has a different stud pattern but the lock ring works the same.
