Title: YH Wheels
Post by: jdv69z on January 22, 2020, 08:34:19 PM

So is 10-24-68 a good known date for YH Rally wheels? I thought that would be the AD wheel time frame? If it is, were the wheels being transitioned from AD to YH by 11A Nov 68?

Jimmy V...    Do you have a photo of the codes on the wheel you are asking about?   I don't think I've seen one that early but... none of us have seen *everything*....  :)

Could be a calendar year 69 YH wheel.
10-24-68 is an AD wheel.

In an ad for a 69 RS/Z. Maybe the wheels are AD, and advertiser listed as YH by mistake? Ad says YH wheels are dated 10-24-8? Asking price = 160K. Car is RS/Z, 11A 1968 with a crossram, etc.

8s and 9s are the two most easily confused stamped numbers...

If it's 10-24-9 then wheels are not original to the car.

The wheels would not be date configured as the car is advertised.
there would be a
K-1-8   10  (valvestem hole) 24  AD
K-1-9   10  (valvestem hole) 24  YH
 
If they are AD's they are 1968 manufactured wheels -
If they are YH's they are 1969 manufactured wheels in which case they would be on a car produced in the last week - week and a half of production

I have a 1968 September built 1969 Z28. The code for the wheels I have are K 1-8 9 20 AD.
Hope this helps with the discussion.

I'm assuming late Sep? After 9/20. Same date as my 10B Oct Z.
