For what it may be worth, when I bought my '77 Midget last fall, the wheel
spokes were completely rusted, so I opted for a wheel from a '73 MGB GT I
had parted out some years ago - fits perfect - looks great too - has the
three diminishing sized holes, just right forgetting fingers stuck!
Disappointingly enough, I also have a nice small (12") thick-rimmed wheel I
saved from a Mini, a '78 as I recall...it didn't fit. Drat. I'm still
searching for an adaptor hub as the smaller diameter wheel would allow
more...umm..room for one's mature adult girth than the original 15" wheel!

Subject: Steerung wheel hubs?
What if any. is the difference in the splines on a the steering column
of a '73 MGB and a '73 Midget?
In other words would a stock '73 MGB steering wheel and hub
(in particularly the hub) be switchable with a 73 Midgets?
