I'll check around for a replacement wheel. In the meantime I'll probably just mount tires on 2 Packard wheels and the 2 Buick wheels. I'll just stick the Buicks on the front since they stick out a bit more. When I get my hands on a another couple Packard wheels then I will correct all that.
Had some time tonight to get the fronts put back together. New wheel cylinders, new hold down springs, and all other components cleaned, sandblasted, and painted.
Pictures show the process. But like an idiot I forgot to put the spacers back on the upper mounting bolts so I need to get that corrected. Didn't have time left to do it tonight, so I just loosened the bolts so I don't bend the backing plate.
