REGARDS, GARY K

Hi Gary

Can't help you much. I know we have 614's with 19 inch 6 bolt reg wires that have a 6 1/2 cap opening. Also 19 inch 5 bolt with lock ring wires that also take the 6 1/2 cap. I believe these 5 bolt lock ring are early 30. Gord Taylor has the 5 bolt lock rings on his 614 and Carol will be listing a set for sale in BC in Partner off a 614.
E and 618 can be 18 or 19 inch wires
670, 685 Frontenac have 18 inch.

I have heard others wanting 6 in hub opening caps and seen them on ebay or 19 inch wires. One reason you have to ask the sellers what size the fastening part is 6 or 6 1/2. Charlies 619 has Model A looking wires with small hub opening and outside bolt holes.

Darned catalogues are of little help and do and don't give all models. They have no wires pre 30 and I had wondered if up here, Leaside only used wood spoke wheels. There's no caps other than screw on for the pre 30's.

1935 Catalogue has

Wire wheel 19 inch front or rear E, 407, 614, 618 $5.70
Wire wheel 18 inch front or rear E, 618, 685 $6.90

Hub Shell Cover for 6 bolt wire wheels 407, 614 $1.45
Hub Shell Cover with 3 1/8 monogram 407, 614, 618 $1.45
Hub Shell Cover with 4 in monogram 617, 618 $2.75
Hub Shell Cover E, 633, 670, 685 $1.25

(as you can see it omits 18 in wire for 670 Fronty ,like it had no wheels but only caps and doesn't say 5 bolt or 6 bolt for the 19's. Also no mention of wheels for 633 D or C400, C600 F's ,but the 633 has caps.)

1938 Catalogue has

Wire Wheel 19 inch 6 bolt type E, 407, 614, 618 $6.90
Wire Wheel 18 inch front or rear E, 618, 685 $10.25
Front or Rear C400, C600 17 inch $8.75

Hub Shell Cover for 5 bolt $1.65
Hub Shell Cover with 3 1/8 monogram 407, 614, 618, E, 670, 685 $1.45
Hub Shell Cover C400, C600 $1.50

(this time the Hub Shells fit all D or F. 633 isn't mentioned and we have 5 bolt caps ? Lord knows how owners knew or didn't know if parts were available for their cars being in one catalogue but not another or at all. Now you know the C400. C600 have 17's)
