Hank;
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.

There is a lot of expertise on FoT and I have a question I expect the =
knowledgeable ones will be able to help.
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=E2=80=99t 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.
Can anyone confirm that the early TR3s had a finer thread on their =
hubs?=20
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! =20
Can anyone confirm the early TR3s had finer knockoff threads or is =
there another possible explanation?
Thx, Hank
