Stuart, I talked this afternoon to Al Klusman. He's as much of a Bug book of knowledge as you will find anywhere. Of course, the LRB was red, as I imagined. The Stinger by Bug was red back then. I'm sure the LRB was the same red. I will say that the Trophy Spider wheels were an option. The Spiders can be found, but they aren't cheap. Will Rogers was repopping the Spiders a while back. He may still have some. Some early LRB karts even had the wide steering hoop, same as Bug's Stinger and Cool Cart. Mr. Pierson did not let older stock get thrown out. My '61 Wasp came from the factory with '60 engine mounts, and a couple other parts left over from '60 Wasp production. Ted
