Anybody know of any 1594/1690 etc breaking. Looking for set of 16.9x38 wheels and maybe fronts as well if paying pallet etc anyway.

Ford wheels would do I believe as well on eight stud centres.

Based Ayrshire but can get collected.

Tried all usual suspects

Ideally looking for complete wheels with tyres. Time I source used tyres etc for rims it's could be dearer than a miserable b like me would like!!

It's a project to put onto a 1412... 16.9 38 on back and 11.00 maybe on front
Very often if the tyres are old,and been stood around, they will be perished , get some cheap new budget tyres.

If you're on Facebook there are a number of David Brown groups that often have adverts for parts. Ebay is a great source of parts too with a number of breakers using it to sell parts. If you can wait the things you need always turn up eventually.

Be careful to measure the centre bore, DB used two different sizes, we'd a 1690 which started tearing the lugs off the wheel rim, I dropped on some new wheels which came out of the factory when they were shutting down, the centre bore was too big, had an engineering shop make some adaptors to weld on.

Had it been the other way round it would have been a nightmare.

Could they have been front wheels for a vegetable special? Wouldn't have thought any other models would've had a larger centre bore than the 1690.
