Title: Weld Racing Prostar wheels.
Post by: PalliP on January 19, 2015, 01:26:48 PM

Hi guys!
I have a set of Weld Racing Prostar front Wheels, spindle mount.  I dont have any wheelbearings, only the mesurements of the bearing seat.
Inner 1.620"
Outer 2.040"
Seal   2.114"
I need to buy the right bearings to be able to build the spindle, I want to have the right mesuraments so I can use other wheels as well.
Does any of you guys no what type of wheels I have?

Best regards.
Palli P

If they are dragster wheels then they are anglia spindle, no other type spindle is used for these wheels unless sombody has machined them. The inner bearing is 25mm ID and the outer is 5/8" ID
If they are doorcar wheels, then there are 2 spindle types anglia and strange.
 Some early altereds used Ford spindles and there were some wheels made for those, but nothing by Weld/prostar

check the OD sizes but I suspect this is the kit you need

Thanks guys!
I have cheek't at the bearing supplier here in Norway and the bearings for one Wheel costs about 212 dollars so it is rather expensive :)  I have ordered two sets from Summit, it will be here at my doorstep for less Money than it costs here in the store for one Wheel minus the seal.  Thanks alot for the info ;)
Do you guys remember the inner mesurament for the seal, we are building the spindle set as we speak :)
Best regards from Norway.
