CLYDE2GUIDE:
We currently do not have stocking dealers in Manitoba, though we have dealers that will order as needed. Some of these are, OK tire in Morris, KK Penner with several stores in the area. We can ship to you direct. We do have distributors in Edmonton, and in Quebec who do stock the tires. We ship a lot of product into Canada to other dealers and to end users. You used the term "excluder". I am not acquainted with that term. I can say that the wheel has all of the steel wheel measurements. The only difference would be the added thickness of the Aluminum that gives it the added strength the steel wheel does not have.

Clyde2Guide,
Is there a Manitoba Dealer for these new tires?
Does the backside of the new rim fit the existing excluder?

Clyde I think he's referring to # 9 in my pic below. The rim would fit in between # 5 & 6. # 11 being the inside side of rim. You can see the spindle in the top right corner.

Hey Old Trucker,
I decided to email you direct. In working with Xanterra and Alpin Guide about the development of these wheels, I was never shown the excluder (so Called). From your picture it shows a bushing or spacer that would butt up against the back side of the inside bearing to limit the inside movement of the wheel. (Most spindles have this machined into the spindle). The back side seal goes over this spacer. The excluder evidently goes over this spacer as well. It looks to be like a protector for the back side of the wheel to keep dirt away from the seal. Am I correct? If this is so, then the shape would not go over our hub. What is your thinking on this? I don't see any real need for it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clyde that's right. The excluder's outer lip fits over the inner seal & the outside of the inner side of the rim to keep out the dirt... (What a tounge twister !) I stand to be corrected on this. I have the old style swing arms on mine, the newer ones have a different shape & don't use that spacer(#10).. I personaly will be useing the excluder on mine. If you look at Mike's 57 rebuild 1st page, reply # 2, first pic, you'll see the newer style I'm talking about. It still has the old excluder on it.
When you made this aluminum rim did you have an old steel rim to use as a pattern ?? How thick is the aluminum between each of the 8 spokes ??
As I was saying I'm not the best on a computer.
OT.
the old trucker:
Can anyone add some more advise to this ??? At least tell me if I am right or wrong...
OT.
CLYDE2GUIDE:
O.T.
I don't think we would have any problem with a slight change to the machining. Could you get me some measurements of the excluder. It would help us to machine for it. I appreciate what you wrote. It will help us to make the wheel even better.
Thnaks O.T.
