Jellybean Mags

[jesus_is_alright]

Hey i'm lookin for a set of jellybean mags, in as good a condition and as chromed up as possible. I think 14x8's is the usual size? Not sure what tyres i'd need to run. This pic shows the look im trying to achieve
Oh and in SA is preferable because thats where i live

you need to know what stud pattern before you buy a set fella.

yes i do. But what i've heard is standard bedford stud pattern is very rare so if my vans not already changed to hq stud pattern, i'll be looking at doing that shortly

[jesus_is_alright]

Are jellybeans still being made? Could i buy a new set somewhere local?

[rossie]

yes they are, and if you want the crome look just get them polished. Dragway will make any size and any stud patern, but you pay big to get what you want

If you go to a HQ disc brake conversion and a highway diff with HQ stud pattern you wont have any trougle betting the mags you want - ebay has heaps of them.

do i need an engineers ticket if i change to disc brakes?

[ben]

technically yes..

[jesus_is_alright]

Well i've found out whilst looking through the site that CRS no longer do bedford-hq disc conversions, and that hopper stoppers do a kit, but because of the size of the disc, i need to be running a minimum of 15" rims
so if you have a pair of 15 x 8's and matching 15x10's (jellybean, kidney, D-slot, 5-slot etc) in HQ pattern and can send them to me in SA, give me a yell
i know there's a set of 15x10's on ebay with 295 50 r15 BFG tyres but they're in vic and its a pick-up only deal.

sounds like it's time for a road trip mate!
The problem with 15" rims in the popular designs is that they are hard to find for sale, you can often get 14" jellybeans and hotwires, but 15"s only come up rarely.
If they're a good price, i'd be jumping at them if thats what you really want, then just get one of the melbournites to have them shipped to your door (or better, go on a road trip )
