[Mg-mmm] Spoke Replacement and Wheel Truing

[Clive Sherriff]

50 thou (about 1/16 inch) for the "out of round"
seems just about OK, but the 130 thou (1/8 inch),
if thats the best you can get,  seems to me to
indicate that the original rim is distorted somehow.

Why 15 inch rims, they are not VSCC eligible for
a pre war MG?
