Can anyone explain the story of Disc Wheel Sizes for TR2/3/3A cars? Are they 4Jx15 or 4.5Jx15? They evidently were 4Jx15 at the start of TR2 production but changed to 4.5Jx15 at a later date. When did this change happen? 1. TRA Judging Manual says "Disc wheels upgraded from 4J to 4.5J at TS 1869"; 2. Piggott says the same; 3. Triumph Spare Parts Manual changes part number for "Disc Road wheel" only once at TS 13046 (but does not list wheel sizes); 4. Moss says change was at TS 13046 for (disc) Road Wheels (they say Wire Wheels stayed at 15x4 thru TR4). My TS15623 and TS37200 cars have 4Jx15 wheels, as do other peoples cars whom I have asked. One person has a TS17xxx car from new and it has 4Jx15 disc wheels. Why are there so many cars with 4Jx15 disc wheels if they were changed to 4.5Jx15 early in TR3/3A production? Chuck
