| Demountable rim for 23-6-45
Can anyone help with a good demountable rim for my 1923 Australian Buick. The actual rim size is 24" x 3 1/2". I believe the part number is 150865. The one I have seems to have been a larger diameter and a chunk has been cut out then badly rewelded.
Thanks |

I have a bunch of rims but I am not sure what they are from. Any way you could post a photo so that the design and driving lug can be seen. Also, do you know who manufactured the rim. Baker? Firestone? Good Year? Dave!

So how do I tell that it is a Jackson Rim that I have or not? Markings? Stampings? part numbers? Dave!

I too am in need of a demountable rim for my 1924 Buick Master Six. Mine is 25.5" diameter. Photo of the latch is below for reference. Maybe they are the same type?
Dave, if you have one in good shape, could you bring it to to the National Meet in Flint?

Dave,
Buick used only Jaxon rims from at least 1918 to the 30's, the name Jaxon is usually stamped on the inside, but most of the time the rim is rusty so it would be hard the read the name.
Mark,
1924-45 used a Jaxon #23 24" the same rim that the 23 uses. The pic you posted is of a Jaxon #23.
I have a catalog from Oakcrest Machine shop.

Mark, What size tire is on the rim? 25 and a half sounds odd to me??? I'll look though the pile and see what is there and sure, I'll bring it to Flint if I have one. My 15 uses a 26" Baker. Dave!

Dave,
My tires are 33 X 4 1/2. I previously posted the outside diameter at the lip with the tire mounted.
Can you send me a photo of what you have?
Thanks,

John,
Thanks for the clarification. Evidently we are looking for the same rim. I corrected my post on the Buy/Sell list and will certainly share any leads with our friend down under.
