<p class="MsoNormal">That’s indeed an elusive number, but I found it in a couple of ads where folks are selling the B2189R clamp: “Used with B2185R or AA3816R cast center and 12 spline hub: B2188R.” Somewhere around here I have an earlier MPI that has a lot
of these abandoned part numbers, but I’m not finding the catalog at the moment. Will keep an eye out for it and let you know if I learn anything more. If I find it, it probably will just refer to the Model B but won’t tell us much more than that. Have you
checked Duane Larson’s archived presentation on wheels?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Parts B’s of that vintage go pretty cheap around here. Find one with good or salvageable wheels and rims?

<p class="MsoNormal">We are working to remove the rear tires/rims from our '47 B (207862). They are on cast wheels. The only casting number is B2185R for the wheels.

<p class="MsoNormal">Currently, the rims/tires are 36", but a late B should have 38". The current rims are rotted too far to reuse, we think. I would like to find the proper rim to go up to 38", but I need to be sure of the wheel part number so that I can
find the [roper rim number.<o:p></o:p></p>
