YH Wheels stamped '69 and '70 in the same wheel

[dannystarr]

Have maybe more than one. But for now I have this wheel that is stamped YH. And has K10 on the outside rim, and the center stamped K19. ? Which is it? Is it a transition of some type? It's dated March 9th 1970 at valve stem area. What's the deal... Also what is the weird little stamp and hole punched in the center section? Danny

First - It would be interesting to see what is on the other wheels. This just could be a case of two different dated pieces getting welded together.... a current outer with an older center section that was maybe thrown back on a rack or bin. It could also be a mistake on the stamp.....but I think it is more a case of an older part getting welded to a newer one. 
Maybe the older one was on the floor holding a door open for months....

Hey Danny -

I have the same stamping on my back wheels (see photo) - I have not looked at the back of them as they are on the car.

My fronts have typical Jan 1969 stamping - which is correct for the car. (04C - see photo)

The JM report for the car does not mention the rear wheel stamping as an issue. I will email him & ask his opinion.

Keep you posted.

PS Danny

I have the same K 1 9 (and the other stamps as well) on the hub of the Rear wheels...

Wheel center section and back wheel hoop were manufactured and stamped during the 69 model year (at least he center section was), they were assembled into a YH wheel configuration on March 9th 1970.
