Wanting Information: Wooden Wheel Spoke Specs.

Post by RajoRacer » Tue Sep 05, 2023 5:25 pm

Anyone happen to have information regarding the profile of a wooden spoke when placed into the felloe where the spoke valley meets the outer hub plate ???????????? To simplify: on an assembled steel felloe wheel, how much "wood" should be showing before the valley between 2 spokes approaches the steel hub bolt plate?

What wheel? I have the Ford spoke drawing for the 21" wheel, hub area should be similar for other demountable wheels.

21" at the moment - I have a wheel rack full of unrestored wheels mostly 23" and both seem to be consistent for distance from the "valley" between spokes to the hub plate - less than 1/4" - I looked at a set of respoked 21" wheels and there was way too much spoke between the valley and the hub plate. I was inquiring if anyone by chance had a Ford print regarding assembly.
