How to get car spokes specifications

markz · Oct 14, 2021

For what car?
What gauge of spoke do you require?
How many spokes do you want?

Best place to go is classic car builders, ask them. Even forums, I am sure there are lots of classic car forums that cater to the stone ages, be a guru there that will know.

Hi, Anyone know how to find out the specs of the spokes? My car recently broke some spokes and I need specs to order.
I have consulted some knowledge online but still want to ask about your experience. Thanks!

Wood spokes can be complicated to measure, and it is useless anyway. The wheel builder will copy from the other spokes.

If they were steel, I suppose that you’d have measured one already. :idea:

We had wheels like that on the farm, only much bigger. When we’d cross a small bridge, my grandfather was asking me to catch 4 small frogs that he’d push between the axles and the hubs as lubricant.
