Henry, thanks.  I believe you have it right.  The early hubs look =
thinner. =20

     I changed the hubs to the heavier ones with the coarse threads with =
the nicer knockoffs. =20

     Thanks again, Hank

Look at the thickness of the walls of the hubs.  The early hubs were =
thin and as the various rally departments were snapping them off, they =
beefed up the hubs and at some point went to the coarse =
thread.....................Cheers, Henry Morrison

Phil, thanks.

   I removed the wheels today and they are bolt on adapters front and =
back but fine thread. =20

     The plot thickens!!

Hank;

I could be wrong here, but I have an early TR3 axle with the wire wheel =
hubs integral to the hub (as opposed to the bolt-on adapters). Those =
hubs appear to have a finer thread than the later bolt-on adapters. The =
thread change was concurrent with the switch from integral to bolt-on.

There is a lot of expertise on FoT and I have a question I expect the =
knowledgeable ones will be able to help.

     On my early (1956) street TR3 (ex-Mike Jackson) I decided to =
replace the somewhat rusty wire wheel knockoffs.  I had another set of =
knockoffs (and hubs) from another TR3 in better shape, but the threads =
were more coarse and didn=E2=80=99t fit.  So I thought they might have =
been from another British car, and ordered a new set of knockoffs from =
Moss.  They too were too coarse.

    Can anyone confirm that the early TR3s had a finer thread on their =
hubs?=20

    I would like to keep the car original but may have to swap the hubs =
to use the nicer knockoffs, or chrome the fine threaded ones.  Or just =
live with the rust! =20

    Can anyone confirm the early TR3s had finer knockoff threads or is =
there another possible explanation?

     Thx, Hank
