I'm soon to recover a 1966 Mk II barn find from a remote locale. I want to take a couple of spare wheels/tires to help roll it out of the woods. I believe there are some Ford wheels that I could pick up at a junk yard. I have all of the wheel specs except the hub size. Anyone know the hub size?

By hub size do you mean 4 on 4-1/4"?

According to the drawing of the hub, the largest outside diameter of the hub is 2.62" The Rootes drawing of the hub was used as the background in a Tiger Tales article about hub failures. Unfortunately, it was used as background in a centerfold and is hard to read. As a CAT member, you have access to many of the back issues of Tiger Tales here on the Forum, in the CAT Member Area. The article is in the May-June 2016 edition of the newsletter.

Most any 13/14" 4x4.25 wheels will fit a sunbeam for the purposes of rolling them if the rim isn't more than 5.5" and tyres aren't massive ( issues will be front lock and catching the lower area of the valence where it meets the arch) can't think of a wheel that's had an issue with the centre of the hub.. and at worst you could pull the front dust caps off.
