Well since I posted that message and on 2 other boards as well I received one reply that gave me a name of a person in Fallon to contact but no address. On the return trip across Nevada I decided to detour there on the offchance I might find the guy, duh!
A random enquiry at a gas station brought the reply of "someone with engines out front" at a location on the outskirts of town. I threw caution to the wind and approached the property in the vain attempt at finding this rather elusive model Mancha. Nobody was home so I left a long winded explanation of my visit there and various ways to contact me should this person have knowledge of the item I was seeking.
Well I've been home 3 weeks and had given up hope of aquiring the proper dimensions when out of the blue an email from the owner pops up in my inbox. Well knock me dead Mate!
As an aside my machinist had finished the wheels in my absence so the project is off and running.
Chris, back in New Zealand but knows Fallon, Nv.
