Bob Bowling Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Not sure what you are after, but I have a cracked wooden wheel in the garage, if the boss is any use to you it is yours for the asking. Will dig it out and post a pic tomorrow for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyf Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Didn't want to pay that much ??)A secondhand one will do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I think the boss is always the tricky bit to find. The wheels were common to many cars, but getting the correct boss is nigh on impossible.It may be worthwhile getting a batch machined up, they would sell.
