[Tigers] stock wheels

[Ron Fraser]

Alpine Parts list 6600992; Standard Road Wheel numbers:
1201200	 up to B9107290
1210258	Superseded by 1214930
1214930	from B9107291 This is a Series II Alpine #

Tiger Parts List 6601131:
1214930

This would indicate that Road Wheel 1214930 was cut into production in 1961

The real questions here are;
1 Can we determine which part # is which road wheel?
2 Are there obvious differences between them?
3 Can we document what we find?

I know have 1 wheel that is marked 1214930 with a 64 date code.
I would need to check the rest for markings.

Steve,

Do you have the part numbers for the different wheels they must be different
right?

Clyde,

Alpine and Tiger wheels are different.  Aside from the obvious Alpine
only wire wheel, the solid wheels have a thicker center stamping on the
Tigers.  I am sure Rootes would use either on the Alpine, depending on
stock, but only the thicker center on the Tiger.  Weight and larger side
forces, ya' know.
