I need the current Douglas part number for the aluminum 8 x 6 wheels that

match the wheels that came as part of my model IV kit in the early to mid

1990s. (Three bolt holes spaced at 85 to 86 mm)



I have read several times that Douglas still sells these wheels, but when

I talk with Douglas Racing techs they can't find 8 x 6 aluminum wheels

with the proper bolt hole spacing.



I suspect I will need to use a wheel with a different  3 bolt hole spacing

pattern and have new bolt holes drilled as well as having the brake disc

mounting tabs welded on, drilled and threaded.

"The original wheels are made by Douglas and the part #is 001-01 . these are 8x6 3b-3n 3/100 , you have to drill then other 3 holes . 

Also you have to weld on the lugs for the brake rotors. 



For a heavier wheel use part # 001-02"
