R rear wheel/rim on my A

Mark M. Slavens · Sep 1, 2013

I just had the rear rims sandblasted and painted. The firm that did it said they lost 6 wedge-shaped metal pcs that were on the R rear, holding the heavy cast iron center in place. Despite exhaustive research I can't find any reference to that on The A.
Help please !!

Did you do the fronts too?

Go back and tell them you want them, Then see what they do. Ha

There isnt any wedge shaped things for the rear.

Gene, note I specified the right rear. I thought it might hold that heavy cast iron center in place.

There are no parts attached or loose for either the light center or the cast center. The bolts simply go through the holes.

Four bolts hold it to the cast center. There are wedge type for the front if you have that style. Three for each wheel. Other types were just bolt on to the center with three ears on each rim.

hen maybe they lost the lugs for the front rims?

Like other have posted, there are no wedge plates on the rear wheels. Period. There are 3 each on both front wheels. Tell them they had better find them or be prepared to pay for the replacement of them. OR you will subtract the replacement cost from what their sandblasting fee was.

However, if you truly only took the rear rims in, then they are the ones confused and nothing is missing.
