Dear Rob,
Sorry about the error on the March wheels. After talking with Roger Barr the origonal wheels were in fact made by John Crossle. Fronts being 8" and rears being 10 ". They were forger at Shorts Brothers Aircraft manufacturing in Ireland and then finished at Johns's Shop. Roger gave me a picture of the shop with the lathe that he used. The later wheels were 10". The origonal wheels were origonallly made for the formula libre that John made that had eight spokes. Roger said that John had told him to cut four spokes out so if you have a wheels that have four shopes cut out that was a natural progession. All of the wheel I have for my 14F are fout spoke wheels origonally eight. i have one eight spoke wheel. and will email you pictures of both. The later set up was 10" in the front Crossle wheels and Brabam 12" in the rear or at least that is what is on my 14F.
