Yes, no problem. Both tags were present, as well as one of the ratio tags. Here's how they were when I removed them:

Tags. not as nice as yours but hey.
Removed the brake stuff while I was at it. Still can't get the other wheel off, the studs have broken loose I think, I can spin the lugs with a lot of difficulty but it is not getting looser. Haven't decided whether to get a nut splitter or just cut them with the grinder.
Looked at the brake S line on various sellers they do not look like mine.
anyway got too wet no more garage time for me, the floor floods 1/4 inch in the kind of rain we are getting. _________________ Carievale Saskatchewan Canada

Evanso 1975 are you using copper brake lines or is it just the light. single or double flares? Just curious. Thanks. |

I think that is the way I will go. I just don't have any luck with double flares. I bought a piece of solid heavy guage ground wire about the same diameter as the brake line then I marked it off in 1 inch increments to give me the length after I make all the bends That way I have a pattern to go by. I may save me from ruining a new brake line or two. It can be straightened and rebent several times. |

To remove the wheel try drilling down the center of the stud, using progressively larger bits. _________________ 51 M38 ,52 M38 ,53 Jeep PU ,62 M 37 ,68 M 715 |

They're cupro nickel, and double flare; we'll see how it holds up to the weather if I ever get the M38 back in one piece. The "S" bends into the wheel cylinders are steel; I bought those pre-made, as I didn't fancy trying to make those small bends.

Nice. Mine were like that before I cleaned them up. If you can't get all the rust spots out, give them a coat of silver alloy wheel paint. Worked for me. _________________ Owen

I have actually barely tried to clean them, hand wire brush after scraping the crud off.
Drilling the studs sounds like a long process, I think I am going with the 4 1/2 grinder with cut off wheel. Just cut the stud and nut in two in one go. on the upside it is missing two nuts so only have to cut 3. Rim is also no big deal it is not one of the originals and I have a set of civy that it will likely end up on once it starts going back together, at least until I get proper ones with the right tires _________________ Carievale Saskatchewan Canada
