[Mgs] MGA owners?

As a matter of fact the peg drive used on the Twin Cams was a fast change  
feature for race cars - theoretically better than the spline drive wire 
wheels  because they wouldn't jam in the pits when you were swapping wheels.  It 
 was a method Dunlop developed for use on the D type Jags, and was also 
used on  BRMs and Gordon Keebles, but not much else.  Now very expensive and 
hard to  find.

I have them on both my race car and my street coupe and they work very  
well.

Oh,  yeah, that's right -- they have some kind of hex or octagon "spline".
Makes  you wonder what they were thinking at the time? Sure, the twin cam 
was
more  powerful, but Jaguars and Ferraris managed to get by with  splined
wheels.
