Well bad news over the weekend, went on an exercise getting the rims to fit up the new tyres. Previously had three rims grit blasted and re-painted with two fitted up with the best of the Alliance Traction Lug 9.00 16. The third rim was fitted during the week with the first of the new Superlug 9.00 16 and plan was to fit those onto the green SIIB so I could liberate another three rims for the cleaning, blasting and re-painting procedure.
Took the first rim off and it was, as expected, a 569203 part number (3/8" +ve offset), then the second and it's a 543384 part number the neutral offset design for the SIIA forward controls and I thought only up to suffix A SIIB. Checked the third wheel rim and again hiding behind the step, another 543384, then the last wheel also 543384. All up out of five wheels for the green SIIB only two were the 569203.
Bugg@# :mad:
The result is now: when I thought I had eleven 569203s for the two SIIBs I'm keeping and would be able to mix and match wheels between both. Now I only have eight and a pretend 569203 where someone has replaced a 231601 centre into a 6.5" rim. Only just enough to have four real 569203s on the road for each vehicle.
What should I do, shoe the green vehicle with five 543384s so I can' mix and match between vehicles or go on the lookout for two or three more 569203s? :confused:
