Hi All Regarding T Type radiator slat colours, they were originally the same colour as the upholstery, saying that I didnt fancy mine beige so painted them body colour (Maroon) On 16 inch wheels,when I was using my TB as every day transport in the seventies it ran on four 16 inch wheels with 6.00 -16 tyres all round, mainly because it was easy to buy tyres for that size! and also gave a better ride. Since completing a complete rebuild this year I have retained the 16 inch wheels on the rear but reverted to original 19 inch on the front to make the steering a bit lighter. For those in the Octagon Car Club a pic. of the car in this months Mag. Regards Ron. Benson TB.
