Subject: Re: DB 3-Litre parts wanted
Hi,
concerning the wheel embellishers: After some internet searching in 2008 I concluded (I donīt remember how and why) that a set specified as "Austin A40 Devon,Somerset S/S AceType Wheel Rim" from classiccarparts-uk.co.uk would fit. The seller wrote to me at that time:
"I have supplied some of these for a Lagonda before.They measure approx 42.5cm in outer diameter, with the inner diameter being approx 34cm and the width is just short of 2".They are for a 16" wheel...The Lagonda i supplied them for was 1950 - 1958,2.6 to 3 Litre. Does this sound like what you are after? Regards A.M"
They are in stainless steel (not chrome) longer lasting but not the same brilliance as chrome. Mounting was very difficult because they would fit better if they were 5 mm larger in diameter. I had to modify the fixing clips.
Here are similar looking ones, on ebay from the same seller: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/...;hash=item5ae03d1d3a
Best you check with him about dimensions. Let us know the result of your research
