While all type 3s were 46mm, type 1s varied quite a bit. Something like 24 to 
36mm over various years. Some type ! ghias actually have 46mm offset. I have no 
idea why they kept changing, but you can get the details out of the Bentley 
manuals. They're in the intro to the Brakes and Wheels chapters.
