New to group and Pos-A-Traction wheels

Post by a65tigrr »

Hi all
Just joined the group. I have a Z600 with bad engine and a N600 parts
car which also appears to have a bad engine hope to get the Z up and
running soon. My other car hobby is Austin Minis and at the latest
Mini Meet I bought some Pos-A-Traction wheels-6 are for Honda 600's
and two fit a Mini. Does anyone know anything about these wheels? I
found photos of them fitted to Honda 600's back in the day as they
were an aftermarket wheel made in the USA. Just how rare are they?
Any idea of what type lugnuts were used? Were they sleeved nuts or
stock nuts fitting into steel washers? What centercaps were used? I
would like to buy two more to fit a Mini (4 inch bolt circle) if
anyone has any as well as any info anyone may have about these
wheels. Any other 600 owners in South Carolina? Thanks, Eric

Eric,
The nearest to you that I am aware of is this Mike O'Connor, in Statesville,
NC.
He has a Honda 600 business...

BTW, if you don't have the manuals for the 600, download them from my
site....

Pos-A-Traction wheels

Post by Miles »

Of all the mags offered, Positractions are the most common. They used
a shouldered nut and special washer. Thanks to Bill C. I have about
300 of the washers and a bunch of the nuts. The nuts will only fit
your Mini - they are threaded to 3/8-24. Sorry, but the Mini studs
fall out of the Honda hubs.
Keep an eye out on eBay as the mags do show up. As soon as an estate
is settled, I should have 2 more Posi's for sale with Honda 600 bolt
pattern.
The factory used easy to get center caps and placed a decal on them.
I have a mint original cap, not for sale, but will tell you that the
cap is an electrical box plug. Get them at most any large hardware
stores such as Home Depot.
