Wire spoke wheel size, plus....
Hey guys,
I may have mentioned before that I want to put wire spoke wheels on a 1/24 scale plastic model of a Morgan 3-Wheeler. The roll of wire supplied in the kit is .0105" (which is in the 29 to 30 wire gage range), quite soft, and is "probably" aluminum. It's kinda greasy and is non-ferrous. It's also a real bitch to try to get the wrapping kinks out and make it straight. The instructions show that an 18" long cut length of this wire will be "passed" from a point on one "side" to a point diametrically opposite the start point (about .710"), passing alongside the hub (so it's not actually "straight" from one side to the other), then make 90 degree turn, set over about 1/8" and another 90 degree bend to send it back past the "other side" of the hub and to the start side again (one "wrap" will therefore provide 4 spokes from hub to rim) and then continue on until all 18 spokes are in place which will do the whole "face" with one wire, then flip the assembly over and repeat on the other side of the wheel. This requires a very slight bend each time the wire passes the hub, and two 90 degree bends to complete one pass and move over to the next spoke, with a very sparing glue application. So, the softness is a good idea for the bending, but hard to keep pulled "straight", and even the slightest touch of the mounted wire causes it to bend and look like **** and impossible to fix !! Anyway, I thought maybe straight pins as used by tailors and seamstresses might work, nice and stiff, cut to length from hub to rim and applied individually, but they are .025" thick, which would work out to be almost a 1/2" thick on the original wheels. So, I'm looking first for the actual known diameter of the spokes of the prototype wire wheels just in case that would be OK, but secondly for something "stiff" and bright like a straight-pin, but closer to 10 or 12 thou thick. Antibody got any ideas or suggestions??? Thanks. Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario. XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX |

Brian, I don't have any info for you, but your thread reminds me of the car I cut my wrenchin' teeth on, Dad's old Austin Healy 100-4. I tuned his spoked wheels as my first automotive task, then helped him tune the engine up (mostly watching) for the next weekend's autocross or gymkhana. Fond old memories. I think I was 7. -- Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving. -- Albert Einstein |

Hey Larry, Very good memories to have !! At 7 for me in 1947, it was soldiers and "the enemy". Lots of fun then. I didn't get into working on cars until the early '50's. Brian. XXXXXXXX |

This is a Wills "FINECAST" kit, made in England, and they have provided "notches" for 18 spokes per side, so a total of 36 per wheel, which seems reasonable for a wheel this size, but I wouldn't know the proper count. It is a model of a 1934 Morgan, and it's not mine. The owner appears to have made an attempt that looks not to have gone very well, but he didn't mention that to me. I kinda figured that the prototype spokes would be somewhere in the 3/16 to 1/4 range, so thanks for a confirmation. Take care, and thanks again. Brian Lawson |

Hey David,
OK...thanks. the "best" photo I have looks like it has 40 spokes too. I've ordered some 10 thou straight pins to try out, and they should be here some time next week. I'll lay it out to 40 with them and see how it looks, but I think putting 40 in this small wheel will make it look "solid". Take care. Brian.

Brian Lawson Your comment make me wonder if there were variations in wheels, sizes and spoke numbers, across the various models. Some were built for hill climb events and I'm sure would be different. -- Best Regards: Baron. |
