I need help locating the person who was making a adaptor plate to be used with 1935 - 1948 rims so wheels can go on a modern tire balance machine?

Thank you

I believe Dick Spadaro was making and selling those, but Dick has passed-away. Someone else may chime-in here with another source. DD
 
I think you mean '36-'39 "wide five" wheels? I've been able to do the others on my bubble balancer and enough modern cars use the 5 on 5 1/2 pattern that they shouldn't be a probloem.

Frank, Speedway did sell them. I'm not certain if they still do.

Be certain to have the plate balanced prior to having a wheel / tire bolted to it.

If you don't, any imbalance in that plate will be transferred to the balance of the tire / wheel assembly.
 
I bought this adapter from speedway. It is a wheel adapter to bolt a Ford wheel to a different hole pattern. You use this to provide a center based on the wheel lugs.
Does not matter which other car it fits.

I made the spacer to allow the spin ballancer cone to tighten down. Need to fit that to whatever machine used.

Works good on lug centric Ford wheels.
