Wire Wheels 101 - Hot Wires: Part I

There's also another curiosity among early-Ford wheels. Unlike most other drums, the face of a '32-48 Ford drum isn't flat; it has a raised wheel-mounting surface. That protruding design is referred to as Type 1, and it's quite pronounced on an early Ford. The problem is that just about every other hub, drum, or disc brake other than the early Ford doesn't have that design-at least to that degree. If you try to bolt an early Ford wheel to any flat surface, the hub ring will hit the drum before the wheel and hub mounting surfaces meet. View Related Article
