    Option code for mahle gasburner wheels

    I am trying to help PCNA straighten out a COA that listed 70 T as having 7 x 16 & 9 x 16 cast wheels, anyone have the gas burner code handy. PCNA wants to list wheels as light metal wheels code 400, size 15 x 6 but I am pretty sure that is options code for fuchs since gasburners are 15 x 5.5.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Hugh,
    Thank you, that is terrific information. It's amazing how much good information a COA is lacking.
