Morris rear mag 18" from Rickman project

Been Around the Block
Putting a feeler out there to see if anyone is interested in a sole Morris rear 18" mag wheel that was with a pile of various Rickman parts when I bought my CR900 frame.




It's not the best example, as the drive side bearing retainer or cush drive assembly has been welded solid to the wheel, 95% of the weld looks to be very aesthetically good looking other than the start/finish point of the weld. Being welded, I would assume this is an aluminum mag and not the combustible metal magnesium.

It includes a solid aluminum sprocket and allen bolts drilled and wired for race use, although the teeth are looking a bit pointy and probably worn out.

The bearing retainer on the rotor side was in there so well that I snapped off my allen head socket in 2 of the 4 retainer bolts. These should be able to be extracted fairly easily, they were Harbor Freight allen sockets...

The width is fairly skinny, definitely no bigger than a 2.15x18. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it were a 1.85 width, but if it was the original Rickman equipment, I believe it is a 2.15. Sorry for the lack of details here, I will make it back to my shop to get a tape measure on the outside width and estimation on the inside bead width. It has a 130/80-18 mounted on it, which is clearly too wide for the rim as it is ballooned out/pinched in.

Rotor bolts are included, Rickman speedo drive adapter is shown in photo but I am uncertain if I will let that go with the wheel unless someone truly needs it for a Rickman project.
Takes an 11/16 axle currently, not included.

The rotor I am fairly attached to however, and am likely going to keep and use on my Rickman. There is a chance I could be talked out of it however, but not going to let that go so easily. The wheel can help me finance some custom Rickman-ish billet triples that another member is helping me design and doing all the machining on.

Let me know if this is of interest to anyone, and feel free to make further inquiries/offers on it. Not trying to get a million bucks out of it.
I can ship via greyhound bus terminals (GPX freight) or can do FedEx.
