It has started to crack very slightly, (which is more or less invisible to the naked eye) so it is unairworthy, It is as said used, though hardly has any wear on it, (the moulding seam still shows around the circumference).
It is free to a good home if you cover postage 🙂

Should this thread be retitled as “tail wheels I have known”

It was a freebie, Mark has got one in the post and with the trivial cost of the postage, it’s on me too 🙂

Many thanx TonyT…..always happy to pay!

Sorry the one I had is on it’s way to Mark as first come first served 🙂 checked though and it was a 3 by 4 not a 3 1/2 by 4.
Never realised there was two sizes, will keep an eye open for you Tony.

Sorry I did not reply to your message sooner…..it would be nice to buy that one….but was hoping to buy a tyre only if I can.
I am taken aback by your personal message and attack…not sure what I did to deserve it.

Hi Tony, I am still after the wider spit tail wheel tyre fitted to later ‘Spits’ like the Seafire 17 and Spit F24
