I don't think your question was insignificant... I, for one, was confused as
to your question.
The TR series of cars used a splined, knock off (or Rudge) "hub extension"
for mounting the wires wheels. These were bolted (with lug nuts) to the
hubs, front and rear.
Yes, they do wear... to the point of being dangerous... and should be
replaced. The ARE available from Moss, Vicky Brit and the Roadster
Factory... also, British Wire Wheel, etc., etc. The Triumph ( also Roadster
Factory) part numbers are 202446, right and 202447, left. Moss numbers are
661410 and 661420, right and left, respectively.
Hope this helps...
