Hi Arty, I cant help you with the tyres, but its good to see you here with us Country Buggy nuts...

I've put together the Country Buggy Gallery here

http://www.manxgallery.org/gallery/Country-Buggies 

Neither of yours are on there, so if you could email me pics of both to vwnuts@bigpond.com i'll add them to it.

Cheers
Graham

You might want to check out a thread on this started by Bill Moore earlier.

Also, please try to send Graham some pics of your two CBs.
He has done a fantastic job of collating a pictorial collection of known CBs. It really is a labor of love for CBs.
All of us love to see pics of CBs. We all jump up and down for joy whenever a new CB is found and pics of them are revealed.
So click away and let us see what you have.

Regards,
Steve
