|
|
I notice three different types of wheel bolts when choosing for my November 51 deluxe:
Flat topped
Dimple topped
Recessed top
Which would have been correct for the original 16" wheel fitting in 1951?
Or were there various suppliers of which any would have been valid? |

I believe dimples are later. Like for ovals |
