I don=E2=80=99t know what it would be from, but I don=E2=80=99t think it =
is. These are knock-off wirewheels  with left and right hand threads. =
They look like the ones in the manual and on Moss.

'66 MGB GHN3L76149

If you're near Menlo Park, CA,

it's the primer red one with chrome wires

And now 67 MGB GHN3U137949G

Old English White, off-premises for restoration

Returning to our story=E2=80=A6. The consensus for the wire wheel hubs =
was that the inner and outer bearings were to tightly crimp the =
single-chamfered spacer between them by pressing the bearings in. That =
makes the three pieces essentially one, strengthing the three into one, =
eliminating any side forces on the bearings. I took my two spindles and =
associated bearings and center spacer to the machine shop. Guy says that =
the outer bearing was loose in its proper placement and I agree. He said =
the solution was a new spindle and bearings. Ok. The second spindle, =
however, is a different story: he pressed the two bearing in to their =
limit shoulders and the inner spacer still was flopping around inside, =
absolutely not crimped in place. He and I don=E2=80=99t understand this =
problem. Any insight??? There is a quarter inch thick spacer that I read =
as being outside of the bearings. Or is this supposed to be inside??

=20

At this point, it looks like I will be ordering both spindle and =
bearings. Fortunately, Moss has the parts on sale:<)++++

TIA,
