wheel builder/parts

Unread post by neandethal »

Hi Folks,

posting it here as the outfit is a Milligan from 1984 and i was told it used to hold a TZ750 motor but now has an R6.

However, my question relates to the wheels, the hubs has " Comp Auto Ltd" and "No.6 Hub" cast into them.

does anybody know the history of these, i thought compomotive wheels were American?

cheers for any info, they do look like cast alloy car wheel centres. will try .and post pictures

If you google Compomotive, it should come up, I wanted some centres and they are still available but in the meantime, I found some complete wheels, so didn't go any further.

Those are Compomotive Allycats. They are based in Wolverhampton. I used to use Compo a long time ago stopped because of poor delivery and bad attitude ;)
