Thanks to all of those who responded
I checked the Mota Lita sight after my initial email and Derek is correct
the image of the Derrington Wheel they have on their Web site is a dead
image of the original wheel with the correct spoke spacing
The only discernable difference I could see from the original wheel was the
number of rivets holding the timber hand grips on the wheel have been
reduced by 6 to 12 rather than the original wheels 18
The Mota Lita wheel is available either dished or flat as required by the
individual
Derek's advice is correct it would appear that Moss might be supplying the
incorrect wheel as per the Photo on Wilko's web site or alternatively the
wrong wheels have been ordered.

Mike Lempert's wheels are no doubt very nice but its the Moto Lita that are
the accurate design and representative of the ones used back in the day.
Moto Lita make many different styles and if people have one that does not
have the three equally spaced spokes then they have bought the wrong model.
