Stephen,
A while ago, someone posted a wheel compatibility list. It included the
Opel Kadett which would be easy to find in Germany (it would be a B
Kadett, later Kadetts might be the same). Another list member supected
that the Opel wheels had a 100mm bolt circle rather than the required 4"
bolt circle though, but for emergency use it might be OK.

Later Midgets with inertia belts use a bracket bolted to the stock
mounting point that mounts the belt horizontal (the axis of the reel
parallel with the rear axle :-), the belt coming out straight forward
towards your shoulder blade.
