I have wire wheels also, and the cap Moss sent me looks just like the
item in the catalog and nothing like the tech tips describe. It is a
little metal semicircle with a square protrusion at the middle of the
arc. The Haynes manual picture looks the same. I can see how you can
shove it into the hub, but I am unclear how it keeps grease in unless
its job is to plug up the hole used to install the split pin. The tech
tips all seem to describe a cap that sits over the hub nut.
