Question about Trigo fia wheels

[1985 CCX]

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.

Bruce if it is not too much trouble. Overall width. backspacing, and thickness of the hub of the wheel.

Good luck with your new engine. If you type I read what you type. If I lived close I would be willing to help in any way I could in your car adventures.

Thanks again

I will measure the wheels tomorrow when I go out to garage, too tired tonight.
Old people need their sleep!

We are planning on going but will be a completely untested set up. New shock pistons and engine with much lighter crank. We will have to try and tune it there. There are no events to run so I will break in the new diff on the subdivision roads and hope it all works out. I got oil pressure today spinning the dry sump pump, radiator is in, brakes installed, steering rack tied down, all fuel lines reconnected. Power steering pump, alternator and wiring tomorrow.

Sounds like you're making good progress. Look forward to seeing you run with the new engine. It should be impressive, the old one sure was.

Thank you Bruce for taking the time to do the measuring in the middle of your engine install. I hope the rest of your install goes smoothly .


With the numbers you provided I am getting a better picture of how thing should be.
