Hi, all.
I talked to British Wire Wheel just two weeks ago.  They told me the MGB
wire hubs were too wide which confirms the list wisdom.  Maybe they could 
make some 15" Cobra centerlaced specials on spridget hubs.  Would the number 
of spokes accomodated by the hub versus the rim be an issue?

MOSS USA in their catalog offer the centerlock alloy for wire wheel hubs in
14" and is listed as a Sprite+1" size.  I wonder if they have the correct
centers.  If you look closely you'll find they have the same part number as
the MGB centerlock alloys.

I'll be converting to 4-lug alloys next spring.
