Help with wheel clamps

[stakeside]

I have assembled all 4 rims for my 29 DB 3/4 t truck. I need 20 wheel clamps and nuts. I am still sheaching for these claps.

I would like to find a place that can cast these clamps.

It would be helpful if in No. Calif. area.

Still looking for a foundry to build my wheel clamps. Prefer local foundry but would consider other location.

stakeside, I was just wondering how you determined that the wheel clamps were cast rather than forged.

 

I found that on my '22 model, a lot of the running gear that I thought might have been cast, and that had cast parting lines, was forged instead.

 

The auto manufacturers just didn't know exactly how strong they had to make things back then, so they made them very strong. For example, in hindsight the chrome vanadium steel used in the DB bodies was definitely overkill.

 

And remember that DB had an exceptionally large forge; that's why Chrysler bought the company.

 

So I'm wondering if your clamps might be forged.
