[Healeys] Wheels

[Don]

Where the wheel is placed on the hub.
  
Bob describes it better I just didn't get my magnifying glass out to
look at them.
 
"The tops of the hub splines should be flat, not rounded.  From the
side, the profile of the spline is an isosceles trapezoid.

"The hubs are (probably) cut round on a lathe, then the splines are
cut perpendicular.  If you look at new hub splines with a magnifying 
glass, you can see the machine marks from the lathe on the top.

If the splines are "sharp;" i.e. there is no flat surface on the top,
the hub is shot (wheel or adapter)."

Enjoy,
Don

Hi Don:

     In your reply, what part of the hub should be rounded on both edges
- not
sharp ?
