Cobra Trailer Replacement Wheel
Finally did it. Rolled up the rim on my 1992 Cobra when the tire
failed catastrophically on the way home from New Castle today. I know some have installed aftermarket wheels on their Cobras. Anyone have the specs for interchange?: bolt circle/pilot diameter/offset. These are the 13" rims installed on older Cobras. Thanks. Chip Bearden ASW 24 "JB" USA |

Chip Bearden ASW 24 "JB" USA I had the same thing happen on the Solo trailer on the way to Perry a couple of years ago. I found an equivalent wheel at Tractor Supply, I think it was. However, I wouldn't doubt that Cobra uses something different. The best approach is to take the old rim around to various tire places and see what they say. -- Matt |

Had oughta carry TWO spares, doncha know? *If you lose a wheel or tire and mount the spare, wouldn't it be foolish to continue on without a spare?????????? Yeah, that's why I carry backpack AND chestpack parachutes. I mean, what happens if I bail out successfully and then have to cut away the main chute to avoid falling glider debris? That would ruin my whole day, doncha know? Of course, it's a little crowded in the cockpit and I can't see out as well and the glider's a bit noseheavy and the second chute cost me over $1,000. But, wouldn't it be foolish to compromise emergency preparedness?????????? Seriously, the glider and trailer are stashed at a gliderport 3+ hours away. I've got the damaged wheel with me. Near as I can measure, the specs a 13 x 4 1/2 wheel with a J flange manufactured 9-91 (the stampings read K13S133 and FAD | 4 1/2 JX13H2 ). Offset measures approx. 29 mm. 4 on 100 bolt circle. 57mm centerbore. I've got a list of vehicles with the same bolt circle pattern and centerbore. The only catch is that the offsets are somewhat higher and because I don't have access to the trailer, I'm hesitant to order a new wheel (or two) because I don't know how much clearance I'll have between the trailer wall and tire. UH generously offered a spare spare until I can replace mine. Actually, because my spare is damaged, that would technically only bring me back up to the single spare level. Guess I'll have to live dangerously for the one-week contest coming up. Chip Bearden ASW 24 "JB" USA |
