the front right wheel of my 1966 TR4A "IRS" (Wires). Each "Thunk" was in
time with a full wheel rotation....

Yes the wire wheel is on tightly...

And when I feather the brakes the "Thunk" goes away. There is no excessive
"Play" in the wheel that I can determine.

I am woundering if it is a bearing ?

Double check the nuts that secure the spline hub.  If those nuts come loose
it doesn't matter how tight the knock-off is.
