I am planning a 1933 Morgan 3 wheeler replica (broadly based). This will be registered as a car I want to use the wheels sized the same as the 19" x 4" wire wheels that the current Morgan 3 wheeler (Circa 2015)uses on the front. These will be mounted to the uprights (from axles) using a integrated hub (this is the system that the kit manufacturer is currently using in the UK), Similarly the rotors are mounted directly to the wheel hub, like a motorbike wheel) When applying for my build approval how can I satisfy the requirements for wheel offset no more than 20% of tyre width , scrub radius, stud requirements etc. It all seems to be quite different to "our rules" Scrub radius seems a very tricky issue when you cannot offset your hubs (because they are wire). It is for this reason that the current integrated hub is used. Reducing Scrub radius. am i over thinking my approval application?

Hi Gregory,
Can you forward the details of what you're intending to use to tech@lvvta.org.nz along with some photos?

BRA CX3 Suspension details
Here is the front wheel set up. Instead of the custom upright I would like to use the slightly heavier standard Cortina MK3-5 upright. This is what is indicated on the plans supplied prior to the kit manufacturer offering the lighter upright. The advantage of the hub/ wheel is that the scrub radius is reduced to around 95mm, where the old design that BRA/ Aerocyclecar marketed was somewhat more as there was a standard hub and disk. Hub adaptor, Full knock on wheel plus knock on. There will be a unsprung weight saving of around 7kg per side.
