When using the early Ford wheels on modern brakes is there anyone out there making spacer to adapt the multi-level flange to give the wheels a more secure fit?...

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

This is something I am interested in too. I have a few sets of '35 Ford 16inch wilre wheels that I want to use at least on '40 Ford brakes, and maybe on a later Ford or Chevy rear axle. My understanding is that the ford wire wheel doesn't snug up real securely against the '40 drums unless you use a spacer made for that purpose. What can you tell me about that?
Also, how can you adapt these to a later Ford or Chevy bolt pattern? I've never been a fan of wheel adapters, as the ones I used years ago kept coming loose.
Any light you can shed on this subject will be helpful, and I bet others would like to know, as these wheels are getting popular again.

Just picked up a set of 35 Ford wires for the rear and am looking for a set of 32 wires for the front. I am still interested in any info on those flange spacers and would probably purchase a set as soon as I can get some info...
Wheelkid you out there?...
