Tube | The chrome wheels have been tubeless since March 2019; and the silver-painted wheels have been tubeless since May 2018. If you have the older, tubed wheels or are fitting tube-type tyres you will need 135/145 x 15 tubes; please contact us for price and availability. This wheel is laced to the outer part of the rim only and so does not require a rim band. |

Notes | BRA CX3 uses Honda CX500 or CX650 motorcycle, Ford Escort Mk I or II and Ford Cortina Mk IV or V as donor vehicles. If the vehicle is based on Ford Escort running gear, there might be clearance problems with the front grease cap - in this case we recommend to remove or replace the cap with a smaller one. Also, the nut which holds the rear brake drum in position, has to be countersunk. BRA CV3 is based on Citroen 2CV / Dyane donor vehicles. |
