Wheels (Rims).

From: "WILLIAM  L. LEACOCK" (75473.3572@compuserve.com)
The Ser 2A and 2B 110 wheelbase forward controls of the sixties and early seventies, the ser 2A and 3 1-ton [LA: heavy duty] 109's and the current 130 models were/are fitted with a 7.00 wide wheel rim with the standard 5 stud fixing. The same rim as used on the 101 with a 6 stud nave plate (I have seen plenty of 101 wheels in which the standard nave plate was fitted to enable the rim to be used on a standard vehicle in the days when 101 rims were cheap and the FC rims were expensive.) The rims are designed for the 9.00x16 tyre but are fitted with a 7.50x16 tyre on the 130's

Regards Bill Leacock Limey in exile.


The Defender 130 crew-cab Australian spec' sheet RM24/94 (p3) states:

Wheels: steel, 6.50L x 16"
