Question about Trigo fia wheels

[MAStuart]

Thank You Bruce!

I was hoping you would speak up. My front and rear hubs are real close to the dimensions you posted. So you are saying the wheel hub itself on the rear wheels is thinner? If so that is good new for me!

I have seen where you posted you have several original wheels. If they are in an easy to access area for you. Is there any chance you could take a few measurements with a tape of the width , backspacing, hub thickness.

If you cant I understand. I appreciate your participation here on Club Cobra.

Bruce and everyone else does anyone know the difference between the standard pin drive hubs and the competition hubs? I figured Bruce would know.

Jeff nice picture! Looks like plenty of thread showing. 8 1/2 inch wheel?

Mark

Yes, 8.5" as they were a touch narrower in the day.

Called Lynn, he said yes on the Trigo question.

Thanks Jeff! Sounds like I have been concerned with something that really isn't a problem.

Mark do you still need dimensions on original FIA wheels? I have been installing my new engine this week and have the ability to measure a bare 8.5" wheel if you need it. The competition cars were illegal with 9.5" pin drive wheels SCCA only allowed 1.5" additional width over 7.5" stock wheels. Dick Smith told me he borrowed a set of 9" pin drive Halibrands for Daytona so that he would be legal.
I have never seen any 9" wheels in person, most ran 8 1/2" pin drives for legality on the rear.

The new engine is a wiring nightmare, have to wire FAST XFI in place of a Classic FAST quite different should be running by Friday in case anyone cares.
