Hi Jim & Maureen! You visited my web page and leta kind message (GREEN MACHINE)Congratulation for the job done. I was thinking to change my wheels for Wire ones. Is it not too complicated? (I am not an expert.)

I am no expert either! However, the kit from Moss Motors made the job straightforward. The rear was easy to do as the new hubs simply bolt onto the existing drums, but the fronts (with disc brakes) were a bit more tedious. The old hub had to be separated from the brake discs (which I'm sure haven't been apart for over 50 years) but once apart, the rest was fairly easy. Had the tires mounted to the new wheels, and that was it. I just love the look of the chrome wires! Thanks for the visit.
