Someone contacted me as he needs to find a replacement wheel to match this one:

-----------------------



"I need some help please.

The pic below shows one of a pair of wheels fitted to what look like
a 1 on off boat trailer build.

The brake drum and bearing housing is a single machined casting
typical of Ford/Volvo items from the 1950s/early 1960s. The brake
back plate is that typical of a rear axle fitting with an aperture
for a cable/handbrake actuator.

The state of the wheel is such that the original markings are no
longer visible without blasting back and then perhaps doubtful.

I have looked and looked on the web without success - plenty of 8
hole wheels but no 9 holers.

Please, if you or any of your associates can help identify what this
is from then it would be very much appreciated as 1 of the rims ought
to be replaced."

Does anyone recognise it? I did wonder about BMC 1100 or 1300, are they on 13" rims??

Looks vaguely like Reliant Regal, but not sure about the offset.

What is the PCD and offset?

Pretty sure 1100/1300 wheels are 13". Keef will know if it's ADO 16

It looks like a standard MKII Ford escort wheel to me..but i'm often wrong.

Looks to me like a wheel from a Morris 1100 Mk2. The early models did not have the holes.

Surely ADO16 had 12" wheels didn't it.

If those are 13" then my guess would be Marina.

[Richard H]

Come to think of it they do look identical to the ones on my Maestro (13")

Austin/ Morris 1300 I'm almost sure

Mother had one and I am sure they were like that.
Also googling 'Austin morris 1300 wheels' look the same and are 9 hole rims with bulging wheel trims.

And as Richard says, were are you Keef

Allegros definitely had 13" wheels, looking at some pictures again they look the same.
