Non standard wheels on my 400/4

(1/4) > >>

Gary 400/4:
Hello folks, I am at pains to try and obtain some information pertaining to the non standard 3 spoke cast mag wheels fitted to my 400/4 F1 model. This is the main reason I've joined the forum, in the hope to obtain some solid opinion.
I have trawled the net in the hope of  trying to find a picture. But alas without success. I find it hard to accept that no information isn't available. Given the fact the wheels were manufactured in volume, to justify the design and tooling costs, to make them.
 They are standard size, and machined so as to carry the original front disc and rear drum components. I wouldn't say they were one offs for racing. They look quite customized. I can't post a picture of them with only 2000KB allowable file upload size, in the hope some one can shed some light as to what they are? There isn't any manufacturers casting codes or anything like a company logo. I am stumped. :-[

Thanks in earnest

If you first email or whatsapp the pictures to yourself, you should be able to upload them to here after, unfortunately from your description i can only say you have a pair of wheels, we are fresh out of clairvoyants at present ;D.

There are some tips for resizing images in the Newbies Start Here thread.

Didn’t CMA make 3 spoke wheels?

Steve, I know the Mocheck Harrier used CMA's but these were 5 spoke and painted white. I'm pretty sure you are correct though and they also made 3 spoke (so did Dymag but I think they would be very expensive to fit to a 400/4!). I seem to remember there was a chain of motorcycle shops in the late 70's called John Brown Wheels (JBW) who used to sell cast wheels for bikes and cars as well as tools, boots, helmets and leathers. I used to go to the shop in Thornton Heath, I remember buying a set of Hilka sockets in there, lasted a lifetime (until they were stolen from my garage!).

Gary,
Try Steve's resizing tips, they work.
