Who might be interested in new reproduction wobbly web wheels for Granturas?
The wheels can be produced in either magnesium or aluminium.
Please send me a PM.

Klaus,

Who are you proposing will manufacture the wheels, both Lee Chapman racing in the US and Crosthwaite and Gardiner make wobbly web wheels for Lotus. Unfortunately these have five studs and webs but I'm sure they could adapt / use same technique.

You should speak to Ivan Dutton and Adrian Liepens their cars currently have wobbly web wheels. Ivan may have contacts through remanufacturing Bugatti T35 wheels. It may be worth posting on the Grantura Facebook page as other racers may wish to swap from non original Minilites or from wire wheels.

Regards

Rob

Hi Klaus,
Are you working on getting one of your cars up and running?
I personally would not use old wheels, as they will more than likely be too brittle by now.
Hope you are keeping well!
Best,
D.

Hi to everyone!
Is there any chance anyone to know which was the donor vehicle for the front wheel hubs for the magnesium disc wheels?
Austin A55 / 60?
Has anyone finally found out a supplier for producing a batch of those wheels?
I would be interested in six wheels.
Kind regards,

Francesco

Francesco,

Speak to Adrian Liepins I understand he has ordered a set of aluminium Wobbly Webs from Ivan Dutton. Ivan may be able to arrange for either magnesium or aluminium.
