Need SS spokes and wiring loom for '58 Ariel Square 4 MK2

 

A friend of mine asked me to look around on the internet for stainless
steel spokes and a stock wiring loom for his 1958 Ariel Square 4 MK2. I
didn't have any luck. Does anybody have any recommendations that might
help me?

TIA.

I would look for a place that manufactures spokes and see if they can help
you or give you additional leads.  My suspicion is that spokes are commodity
items in the same sense that ignition wires are ... there is the basic
material (thickness, resistance, color, etc.) then how you finish the ends.
The length is kind of immaterial because the hardest part is how you finish
the ends and the equipment required to do that ... not the distance between
the ends.

Anyway, a quick Google search turned up a place like this:

Might be a good starting point.

Stainless spokes are readily available from specialist suppliers. There
are plenty in the UK.

Ariel spares - www.draganfly.co.uk

And lo and behold, their appear to have Square Four looms (at least I
assume that's what the SQ designation means)

Man, I'd never have found that one! Many thanks for saving me from an
afternoon of looking. Now that you've pointed the company out to me, I
can do a "backwards Google" and see that my search terms were entirely
incorrect.

Thanks again!
