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</div>

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.</p>

<span style="font-size:14.0pt"> 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’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.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size:14.0pt"> Can anyone confirm that the early TR3s had a finer thread on their hubs?

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<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. Or just live with the rust!

<span style="font-size:14.0pt"> Can anyone confirm the early TR3s had finer knockoff threads or is there another possible explanation?</span></p>
