I agree with it is probably the hubs. The deal is I am the PO on the car and I
know that they have not been changed since 1970 when I acquired the car.
If the hubs had been swapped before I got the car that begs the question
swapped with what?  TR4?  Healey?  It would have to have been something that
took the same size/thickness/hat as the B rotor but had a larger hole.
Guess I will have to go over there and eyeball this sucker.
