Hello, I’m looking for a used 27inch SC tire to display on a T-6 main wheel that I am turning into a table for my garage.
The wheel is going to be mounted on the base form a large desk chair, and a round glass tabletop will sit on top of the tire. Here is a picture of a quick test fit.

Image

I’m located in Findlay, Ohio 45840. I would be willing to drive a couple of hours, or pay the shipping cost, and a reasonable price for a used tire.

Speaking of T-6 parts, here is a picture of an odd wingtip that I have. At some point a previous owner added a second navigation light.

Image

The wingtip is hanging in my garage. I mounted LED bulbs behind the lenses. The red is on constantly. The clear strobes once every second.

Thanks for any help!

If Ollie doesn't have the tires, I have three or four of them at home.

The only thing is, that I am not at home, and I may take me a while to get back there. I hope you are not in a hurry.

Saludos,


Tulio

I would like to thank everybody for looking! I will be sure to post that I have found a tire when that time comes. I will also post a photo of the completed table if anyone would care to see it.

A little more info in the odd wingtip. I received it with a red lens, but no other hardware for the lights. I found two very used Grimes lights on ebay, but they came without lenses. To save money until I can find a good deal on a clear lens, I improvised and cut an old flashbulb in half. It’s delicate, but it fits.

Again, thanks for looking, and I will keep you posted.
