hi prd,the duals are four complete rims spaced with tube, i will take some pics and post them, it is so well done it looks original,all painted the same as wheels,perhaps was done by the shop that serviced and sold it,today i blew a coat of cherry red over the underneath of chassis but it's more orange than i hope'd(primer was flat white)so maybe i will have a think about it a bit more.also shot a coat of post box red over the grill but look's to loud,, the picture of the red one posted look's more maroon but hard to tell with pics(just downloaded a bottle of red so i hope i'm making sense)..cheers

here's some pics of the dual wheel setup and new paint,more orange than i wanted,

Looking good. I'll bet your just bursting to get it back together
Someone sure has gone to some trouble with those duals. Went to all the trouble to find or buy 4 wheel halves and make spacers etc. can't see it being a factory job because from an engineering perspective having those long bolts supporting the outboard wheel is putting some nasty loads into the inboard wheel. Id be worried about cracking the inboard wheel if the machine were intended to do any serious work but as this old girl is now in retirement it's all academic and having them there as a curiosity is a bit of fun.

Thanks heaps for posting these photos. They've helped answer a couple of questions in relation to missing bits on my own beast. To that end, can I please have a detail photo of the handbrake lever arrangement as you reinstall it? Mine is missing and it's different on this machine as compared to all the others I have.

Been meaning to ask. I'm guessing you didn't find s serial number while you were cleaning the frame?

I'm inspired to get into my own machine but, oh man!, it's going to take a ton of work. Just getting it apart is proving to be a slow process. So much rust and I don't want to break anything!

Cheers,

The wheel setup is similar to the Deutscher 360 and they seem to stand up well, idea was probably inspired by that

here's some pics so far,decals coming,,
