I've finally ordered some new rear tyres for my van. I've got a couple of wide Weller steels from the late 70's which I've been renovating. Wheels for my van are almost impossible to find because Bedford decided to go for a totally unique PCD that absolutely no other car maker in the world uses... so nobody makes wheels to that PCD.
Fortunately someone was breaking an old 70's Bedford hot rod on ebay and had two spare rims.
To make it even harder though, the stock diameter is 14" and most tyre makers don't dip below 15" now.
But finally I've found some tyres that don't cost more than the van, and with a bit of luck I'll have a fat arse by Thursday afternoon.
Got to get my new Weber carb on at some point and I might actually see some action this summer. Van still looks like shit though, but I quite like that look.
