Rob Abbott Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 All I'm in the process of restoring a WS 22 Handcart and the challenge now is Tyres. As with everything British wartime dated, the tyres are a strange size. I have one very battered non usable original which is marked Dunlop carrier - 14x2.5 inches - to fit an 11 inch rim. If anyone has anything or knows of a source please let me know. Many thanks Rob P.S. - As my wife has already told me on numerous occasions, I should have collected stamps or coins, it would have been so much easier.........

Rangie Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hmm, something electric-scooter-ey may be an option but they tend to be about a 10" rim rather than 11". I'll keep an eye out though. I was in the same boat with a compressor trolley but managed to very very gently remove the tyre and fit a fresh tube inside it. Alec.

Rob Abbott Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks Alex Yes agreed. Kids bike/scooter most likely option. Have tried a couple down that route already but still looking. As you say it's therein size that's the killer. I may end up having to fit some different wheels but don't want to unless abso!hugely necessary. In any event I appreciate the assistance. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
