Title: 13 or 14" X 6" mags wanted.
Post by: reddo on September 13, 2007, 12:50:35 PM
I am chasing a set of 13 or 14" X 6" mags for the fe Panelvan.

I have 2 sets of  13" dragways with tyres  , and 1 set of 14" dragways with 2 good tyres. All are 7" and run too close to the rear guards and scrape on the front went turning.
Dont want to modify the guards to get the clearance i need
So i am chasing something like a set of old skool 6 " tasman mags with or without tyres ::) ::) ::) ???. Anyone got anything out there to suit what i am after. Dont want jelly bean mags thanks.

Might be able to a swap/ deal with someone chasing dragways with tyres. 8)

HI reddo,
I run 13 x 7 dragways on my FC. I had the centres moved out and 5mm machined off the back to get clearance, may be worth think about ???

Weddo

Hi Weddo
Thanks for that. worth considering.
I have 2 dragways that are offset 20mm less than the other 10 that i have. all are 7" wide.
Might have another play with the ones i have got and put the nrrower offsets on the front. It will still leave me with a problem with the back ones as the 2 narrower rims just cleared the rear guards when they where on the back.
Might have to see a panelbeater and  get the lip on the gaurds rolled up and then pump the guards out a bit.
Would get away with either fitting uplift /keeper springs or go to air shocks but i hate the bloody things ( air shocks).

Cheers
Reddo
