SECTION IV WHEELS
Adjustable track wheels
1 = Bracket
2 = Rim
3 = Bracket thickness
4 = Wheel
The support bracket 1 on the rim 2 is fixed offset with respect to the
centreline of the rim (and therefore with respect to the tyre too).
During fitting, the bracket can be fitted in contact with the wheel 4 on both
sides.
This allows for two different tracks.
Two more tracks can be achieved by turning the rim 2 with respect to the
wheel 1.
This means that there are in fact 4 possible ways of fitting the rim 2 and
wheel 4.
If you then fit the assembled wheel on to the hub (or rear half-axle) with the
bell facing inside or outside you can actually achieve 8 different
configurations (see figures on following pages) for distance between the
centreline of the wheel and the mating surface on the wheel hub or
half-axle flange. There are therefore 8 possible track values.
