Listers,
I had responded to "Assistance" (and the list) that I did not see 13" wheels
being used with MGB steering arms. I have now been convinced that is in fact
possible provided that you have 13" wheels that will work. Below is a reply
to Larry Paulick who kindly sent me a picture of a Tiger with 13" wheels and
MGB arms. This should explain why I replied earlier as I did. What a debate
for my mind, stay with my somewhat rare Cosmic wheels, or make effort to
deal with the ackerman issue, sadly it can't be both. Tom Witt B9470101

"Larry,
Thanks for the picture (note: picture is not able to be sent through the
list server), it is worth a thousand words. The LAT-70 wheels have either a
different width or offset (or both) from my Cosmic wheels. In the picture
you sent the wheel appears to be about a half inch beyond the (outer edge)
of the brake dust shield. The Cosmic wheels have the dust shield (its inner
edge) about a half inch deep into the wheel (remember when I say inner and
outer edge of the dust shield that when viewed from the front it is about
1/2" wide in and of itself). Therefore, whether width or offset or both the
Cosmic wheels are about a full inch (or more) closer to the steering arm
than the LAT-70's. I'll still keep the arms as you never know what I might
change to in the future. Tom Witt B9470101"
