Any thoughts on the missing tyre?

Stuart!

My thoughts are to either fabricate 4 tires at 27” in diameter either by my own hands or by another working in resin, or modifying four tires from the 1/16 AMT Shelby Cobra kit.

Thanks, Carlos! What a great website. I bookmarked it as well as searched for 1/16 tires.

Closest I have seen are the 1/16 Shelby ones by AMT—those look like the right A types... just super wide!
