Wheels on at Last

Today the good folks at the Firestone Tire Centre put the wheels on the rims, and did it with care not to scratch the rims. Now I can use the 'wiggle' method to properly tighten the hub inner nuts, and the chassis will then be ready to roll.

Someone has asked what make the tires are, so I'll add that here now. They are from Universal Vintage Tire (who have excellent service), and are 650-16 Super Traxions. The web page: https://www.universaltire.com/650-16-sta-super-traxion.html

Lined up and with the rims looking much whiter than they are in real life: the five wheels.

With the colours more as they are, here's the forward right, installed. It would be nice to have an overall shot of the chassis with the wheels on, but presently the garage is almost too crowded to move. Next weekend I believe someone is coming to take the old chassis off to its new home and new life (and leave an undented tub in exchange!), which will make more room, and the following weekend the brothers from the truly excellent 3 Brothers Land Rovers should be here to take the snow plow, old tub and various other things, which will free up even more room. Then I can take an overall photo!
