I'm astounded.  I've always believed that the spline of all these wheels was
the same. The only differences were that the caps had different threads,
either 8 or 12 TPI.  MG, Triumph and Sunbeam were supposedly all the same.
An MGA wire wheel would fit on a TR, and so forth.

Jaguars, of course had a different size spline.

My whole belief system is at risk here.
