About a year or so back I was asking for
measurements.dimensions for Allis B steel front
wheels. Thanks to all those who gave advice this
is the result. I don't claim that they are exact
replica's but they are to size. I made them in my
shed. The rims were rolled in 6MM steel by a local
friend. The hubs are secondary mains water
pipe. The quadrants seen in the pics are 4mm steel
and as you see are welded into the edge of the
rims. Thats 12 feet of welding on each rim etc. The
centres are made from 12mm flat steel marked and
worked entirely by hand(except the drilling)The spokes are cut from 11mm bar. Still
have to make the skid rings. Only problem now is
that I have already sold my Allis B.Take care Mike
