Wanted: a used 27” SC tire for this used T-6 rim

Mon Apr 02, 2012 2:46 pm

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.

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.

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!

Let me see if we still have old Harvard tyres...

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.
