Scott:
I'm not sure about the Healey 100S wheels being similar to the Twin Cam
wheels - perhaps Bill Spohn or someone else can help there. Do the 100S
hubs have 5 studs or 4 - the Twin Cam has 4. The peg-drive Twin Cam
wheels are nearly identical to those on the even rarer Gordon-Keeble. I
have a set of wheels for my Twin Cam which started out life as TR6
wheels which then simply had the Twin Cam peg adapters bolted on to now
make good 5-1/2" Twinkie wheels. As far as I know, NO reproductions are
being made of Twin Cam wheels, although if one has enough $$$ one can
have anything reproduced!!!!
>From Scott Helms:
Recently the topic of Twin Cam wheels (peg drive) came up on the Healey
list, and whether they are similar or compatible with the wheels used on
the Austin-Healey 100S. Both seem to be a similar wheel style as used
also on the DeLuxe. Does anyone know whether they used the same
wheels? Are there any reproductions being made? If so by whom?<
