Series Rim ID

[mick88]

I have a varied collection of standard rims and would like to know on what series vehicles they were originally fitted?


272309 riveted 35mm positive offset.
272309 plug welded 40mm positive offset (distinct 5mm difference in offset to the riveted rims)
FV2000727 20mm positive offset


Cheers, Mick.

the two with numbers 272309 are meant to be the same part, with the welded ones later (or possibly different supplier) to the rivetted one. The 5mm offset difference should be considered manufacturing tolerance - I think they are meant to be 1 3/8"or 35mm!. These are standard on Series 2/2a 109, optional on 88, also supplied with all except late production Australian manufactured Series 3.

I don't recognise the other number, although I think I have seen it before.

FV part numbers are Fighting Vehicle part numbers. It might make that wheel originally a British army Land Rover wheel.

Aaron,
are the "FV" a heavier grade of rim?

Are you sure they don't have NRC7578 stamped on them as well? Usually they do and they are the generic 110 (pre-Defender) rim.
