Converted my '69 442 to front disk brakes. Since original SS1 Rally wheels do not work with the disk brakes, they are just sitting around gathering dust. Not much of a market for them so decided to convert one into an electric wall clock. Took a little bit of effort trying to fit the clock mechanism inside the wheel, but managed to attach a bracket to the bolt on center cap. Hardest part was cutting the wheel in half.

 

I have too many myself. I would hate to throw them away, but they aren't worth much if anything at all

 

That’s genius!

 

They make good garden hose holders, too.

 

Good idea w the clock!

ive got an 14” ss1 as my spare.

a 14”ss2 holds air and pressure washer hoses and extension cords (good capacity)

a second 14”ss2 i used as a base for a polisher

 

Beat me to it on the grinder stand.

 

Re grinderstand

it works surprising well. I thought it might be topheavy but its fine no different then the stand next to it, plus its easy to move w the round base.

i added the foot pedal to one spot so i can apply some extra leverage and prevent tipping.

 

I presume all of these are the 14x6 chromed ones from 66-69 and you all are hanging the trim rings on for looks?

 

I wish I had a set of those drum brake only SS1's. If anyone in the deep south had some that were cheep I might be interested in acquiring them.

 

How about Mid-Atlantic?

 

Those would be pretty expensive to ship and I don't want them bad enough to spend a bunch for shipping. I was hoping for a couple hours' drive from the Atlanta area, and I'd go pick them up. Or the Florida panhandle where I find myself quite a bit.

 

Slantflat, I may have a set if your interested in coming back to KY.

I got at least one I can bomb out the window on my way down to FL next time.

 

Cool give me a heads up. I'd hate to be beaned by one of those.
