Wolfy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hey guys, The wheels used on many wartime British 'Jeep' trailers had 12 holes around the rim I think. I know most had 6 wheel studs but I'm looking for the 3 stud version and hubs for a project. Were these wheels and hubs Austin and does anyone know what car, anyone who has them? Thankyou :-) Colt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfy Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 3 studs - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carruthers Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi, The three stud wheel was used on the trolley Acc used for starting planes. I noticed it at Shuttleworth last year but otherwise they looked like the Austin versions seen on trailers. The cars have 5 studs, if i remember from my Morris 10.... Hope this helps Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austintilly Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 The Austin Tilly wheels have four wheels studs. The Hillman Tilly has wheels with 3 studs. I think you are looking for wheels of a Hillman Tilly, or maybe a Hillman Minx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airportable Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hi, note on my signature 'hand cart!?' It has quite large 3 stud wheels, solid centers though, 5.50-16 6ply and def. military. If I can get to it I will post pic. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 If it's any help, I have seen these wheeels at Autojumbles as they seem to be a standard item with just the number of stud holes varying on civilian cars. I believe they were called 'Easy Clean' wheels in civilian use. Try Beaulieu Autojumble in September as a source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Old (1960's) Benford builders dumpers used these (3 stud) too on the rear steering axle. 16" tyres? I found some replacement wheels for my dumper from a ministry surplus place - I believe they came off an ex RAF aircraft starter or slave battery trailer. Tyres were still available 15 years ago (a standard Indian market commercial size!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need one as a spare for a WWII trailer fire pump. I need the 3-stud, 16" wheel to take a 5.50 or 6.00 x 16 tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
