A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

I have what appears to be a tailwheel that is solid rubber. The size is 8x3.5. On the wheel rim is the following information:
D.A.C. Spec.3670568 Assembly # C-1084 - B
(presumably Douglas Aircraft)
U.S. Rubber Co. Detroit Mich.
The rubber is smooth contour with a large radius at the edge.
Can anyone help ID this. (I haven't had much success posting photos here). Perhaps an SBD tailwheel?
Thanks
Grant

I have since discovered it is a Bumper Wheel. Probably from a '50's vintage Douglas Carrier based aircraft. Still don't know what aircraft yet.

If you have pictures I will see if it is the same as the ones I have. They are two different sizes and are both bumper wheels? (I think)
