Just for the record and to disseminate correct info, the MK1 Sprite has a 5/8" steering shaft spline while all else has a 3/4" spline. So, I got a Moto-Lita 13" leather wheel with flat, thick grip, 3 chrome, slotted spokes, and a Moto-Lita hub. Not the cheapest but good quality.

Most other supply shops either didn't know the difference or didn't have a hub. Bugeye.com just added the correct hub to their growing parts availability.

Still can't race due to cataract surgery last March that got infected and just cleared up. I will get the left eye done next week with hopefully better results. Then I can pass my medical exam and get racing (and seeing) again.
