Finished wheels had a runout spec for the tire mounting surfaces, and .000 runout was considered scrap!
Wait what?

Your patience, steady hand, and resourcefulness (potatoes!) are truly awesome.
Here's another tidbit you may or may not have run across. Kelsey-Hayes operated a wheel plant in Windsor for many, many years. Finished wheels had a runout spec for the tire mounting surfaces, and .000 runout was considered scrap! Unfortunately, I never heard what the upper runout limit was.
Yup, 0.5 ounce (14.1748 g). There were larger and smaller weights, too.
In what other weight were they found? I might need to locate more different weights!! Did they have Chrysler part numbers?
I also recieved a package with the right cap for the master cylinder. There seems to be alot of versions but this one is the right one. It even had the vented paper gasket wit three stamped holes in it! I don't know when they changed the master cylinder cap. Was it in 1966?
Fasten your seat belt: Part number is 2265 641 for '66, '65, and '64. In '64 the part number carries a * indicating "change or addition". In '63 the part number is 2265 642! Same in '62. In '61, the part number is 1731 225, which is also listed in '66 "with power disc brakes".
Whee!
Problen is you don't see the caps! Can the changes has taken place in 67 then?

Asked and answered, your honour! Re-read what I wrote in post 2286. This is probably one of those cases where not only did factory parts differ from service parts, but also multiple variants of a part, with fit/function interchangeability but different appearance, have the same service part number.
Ulf, all I can say is WOW. What great job! And your eye to all the details is a amazing!
It's looking really good Ulf! It's really funny to follow this thread each day. I hope to see it in reality sometime in future when it's finished. Thumbs up!
Kevin! I can't get what you mean. School me please! :coffee2:
Thanks Plaschy! It's getting better and better!
Today was the spare wheel day! I did some serious paint job on the rim last night and then today my oldest son Kevin gave me a hand with mounting the tire at Ettings Maskinservice where he works. He did take some extra care when mounting a 49 year old tire but it all vent good.
Some cleaning and the tire was ready to into the trunk. After I put it in the trunk I could add the jack stand plate and the wing nut. On top of that the bowl plate and the last wind nut. Even if this a factory correct tire with the right dimension there is a gap of almost 1 inch on the sides of the spare wheel cover!! Does not look good but that's the way they came!
I also mounted the front bumper brackets. That work gave me a question; - Were the brackets mounted on the bumper before mounting it or was the brackets loose mounted on the body before the bumper was added??
Any comments is greatly appriciated!
Thanks FABO
