Selling up..........

[Peter Seager-Thomas]

Health issues alas dictate that projected slot car activities are severely curtailed.

The Maserati is unlikely to be completed.

Lots of bodies/kits will in due course be advertised for sale.

A vast number of wheel kits, kept in reserve, will now be sold.

Thank you for your good wishes. I have Parkinsons's, though at present the effects are manageable. I am however aiming to concentrate on detail work for the immediate future, just in case I go downhill.

All the wheel related stuff has now been gathered together in order to determine what parts can be but together as kits, with a few missing bits made, and what parts will be junked.

Two wheel sizes are now receiving attention.

15". Only ever offered as a 48 spoke Dunlop pattern with 5mm rims. There should eventually be about 10 sets of these after which being short of wheel centres and hubs, they become non-viable. Some of these 10 sets require the spokes to be formed for which one new tool piece must be made.3 sets are immediately available.

A large number of 15" spoke sets (unworked) will be advertised for sale once these sets are sold.

Members are reminded that these are the only 15" 48 spoke Dunlops which have ever been offered for sale.£27.50 per set.




16". Probably the most numerous size ever made, with rim widths 4.5mm - 6mm. I am working on these now. Again about 10 sets, mostly 60 spoke and 72 spoke Borrani pattern. Supplied with 2 or 3 ear Borrani nuts, both if you wish.

Next sizes? I expect to offer a small number of kits for either drum or disc braked V16 BRM.

This will leave 17" Borrani, 18" Borrani and Dunlop, a wide range.

!9", a few Borrani, most Dunlop, a few for Mercedes and Auto Union.

20" and 21". Lots of unseen stuff. 21" well base for Bentley, 20" straight sided for Alfa to beaded edge for earlier stuff.

Update in due course.

Update.

15". One of the press tools needed for forming the spokes has not yet come to light. There are thus now just 2 sets immediately available at £27.50 per set.

16". The above means I can borrow some hubs to complete some 16" kits. 4 sets of 72 spoke Borranis immediately available at £30 per set.

17". 60spoke Borrani typically suited to Maserati 4CLT and Alfetta. £30 per set.

20" straight sided. Normally described by tyre outside diameter which I'd guess in 30". Expensive at £45 per set. Probably.

Correction on the 20"wheels. These will be £40 for a set of 4, £50 for a set of 5, the 5th wheel being a 'see through' spare.
