Off hand, does anyone know the size of the PBY-5A/6A mains, and if the size was common with any other aircraft?

Thanks in advance.
Tom

Welcome to the forum Tom. The PBY mains seem to be 47x10's. Don't know offhand any other fits for that size. Anyone know a good source for that type info?

Yes it is. Cross reffed the 47x10 and it's the same as on the B-25, A-26 and PBY.

Thanks again everyone for the help!
Much appreciated.

Tom

I'm not 100% certian but I thought that the P-61 may have the 47" wheels as well.

I thought it was called a 47SC. I have sold a few in the past.
