Hi Charlie,
I too just purchased a new hub adapter for an adjustable wheel (and Moto-Lita
14" wood wheel) from Moss. Parts arrived Monday.

I have not yet tried to install these in my 1966 BJ8 which currently has the
standard 16.5" plastic wheel.
I probably won't get to them until next week at the earliest and probably not
until after Conclave.

I was surprized to see the 2 main adapter components were in a black anodized
finish (- the last ones I saw were brightly plated!) and stamped "made in
China".  Were yours the same as mine?

Please copy me on anything you find out about your problem and I will keep you
posted as well on my progress.
Will I see you at Conclave?

assembly and the steering wheel trim ring. When secured by the three grub
screws, I can see that the signal / horn assembly is fully seated on the
machined mounting surface inside the boss.
