I had another set of knockoffs (and hubs) from another TR3 in better shape, but the threads were more coarse and didn’t 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> Can anyone confirm that the early TR3s had a finer thread on their hubs? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> 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.
