What you describe with clicking sound on drive take-up or over-run is a common 
feature on many cars with knock-on wires. Essentially, it boils down to bad 
machining on the hub and poor quality of the mating surfaces on the wheel 
centre spline. Over a period of time the snugness of fit becomes sloppier no 
matter how tight the centre lock spinner.
My younger son had the same complaint with his fully restored 1970 MG Midget 
and in the end, the only cure was four new wheels,  four new splined hubs and a 
goodly dollop of copperslip on the mating surfaces. Iâ??m told by those in the 
know that this is a perennial problem with people with E type Jaguars when they 
all came ex factory with chrome or painted wire wheels.
My sympathy for you but Welcome to the Land of Clonkclick
