[Healeys] hubs .. splines - autotightening

[Mirek Sharp]

Mike - great article - thanks.  I confess I fall into the category of those 
who really whack those knock-offs tight.  Judging from the article, I would 
have been over-tightening.  Mind you, in 35 years of ownership, I have never 
had a problem with wheels or splines, and only recently replaced  the 
original wheels on my 60 BT7 out a fear of metal fatigue in the spokes after 
47 years of flexing.  Based on the article, I am going to ease off a bit and 
use a marker on the wheel centres and knock-offs to see what happens.

Cheers,

Mirek
60 BT7
