Mike, I am still a little sceptical that something is still not quite =
right.  No matter whether it was a Triumph, MG, Healey, Jag, Morgan or =
anything else I have had the joy to work on, I have, after cleaning the =
splines and threads (hub and knock-off), and coating with an anti-seize =
compound,  always been able to tighten the knock-offs by hand or with a =
few light taps with a hammer to be able to eliminate all play between =
the wheel and the hub.  When I am convinced it is all seated properly, =
then I will give a few substantial whacks with a copper or hide-faced =
hammer to tighten it up.  Driving will tighten them the rest of the way. =
 You should not need to wail on the knock-off to eliminate the play.  =
Given how critical a safety issue this is, I would be inclined to =
disassemble it and fully investigate the fit of everything.  Perhaps it =
is just tight threads =E2=80=93 try removing the wheel and threading the =
knock-off on =E2=80=93 it should go all the way on by hand.  If it =
doesn=E2=80=99t, there is your issue.  That should be rectified because =
if  the threads are not a good match, the tight threads may prevent the =
knock-off from self-tightening.

More work I know, but we all seem to have time on our hands.

Good luck, Mirek

OK, I got the message.  First of all because I converted from drum to =
3000 disc brakes the hub extensions are different between front and =
back.  I doubt this makes a difference in mounting the wire wheel.  Late =
last night I went out to the garage and got out the big lead hammer I =
bought recently to get the knockoffs loose on my MGB GT.  I beat the =
Healey knockoffs a lot harder this time.  The wire wheel hub tightened =
up and showed no movement.  Apparently using a plastic dead blow hammer =
was not enough.

At my age (approaching this side of 70) I am on lock down at my house.  =
I even have my groceries delivered.  I will only go out to eat at a =
drive through with an N95 mask on.  My Boston Terrier that goes with me =
does not wear one.  He refuses, but he is only three years old.  So, =
being sequestered to my domicile I have taken up the restoration of my =
BN2 with a vengeance.  I did not know I knew so many off color phrases.  =
Everything to be done on this car is difficult due to parts =
incompatibility, parts fit, parts unavailability or just  my general =
ignorance and/or incompetence.  This evening I finished mounting the =
right side front hub with all new parts.  I thought I had done a nice =
job.  No lateral play in the hub.  Turns easily without binding.  The =
correct amount of shims after much trial and error.  Disc brake =
conversion was mounted and braided stainless steel flex brake lines =
hooked up at both ends.  I have yet to run the brake lines.  Maybe next. =
  This rant is about the brand new Dayton wire wheels.  I mounted the =
wire wheels which have temporary used tires on them so I can move the =
car when it is down off the dollies.  After mounting the wheel I gave =
the two eared knockoff several pretty good whacks.  Now the moment of =
truth.  I grabbed the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock position and pulled =
straight back and forth.  Yay! No play, but when I rocked the wheel it =
moved slightly.  I thought it was the hub, but looking closely you can =
see the wire wheel hub rocking back and forth in the knockoff!  What!?!  =
How hard are you supposed to hit those knockoffs?

side of 70) I am on lock down at my house.&nbsp; I even have my =
groceries delivered.&nbsp; I will only go out to eat at a drive through =
with an N95 mask on.&nbsp; My Boston Terrier that goes with me does not =
wear one.&nbsp; He refuses, but he is only three years old.&nbsp; So, =
being sequestered to my domicile I have taken up the restoration of my =
BN2 with a vengeance.&nbsp; I did not know I knew so many off color =
phrases.&nbsp; Everything to be done on this car is difficult due to =
parts incompatibility, parts fit, parts unavailability or just&nbsp; my =
general ignorance and/or incompetence.&nbsp; This evening I finished =
mounting the right side front hub with all new parts.&nbsp; I thought I =
had done a nice job.&nbsp; No lateral play in the hub.&nbsp; Turns =
easily without binding.&nbsp; The correct amount of shims after much =
trial and error.&nbsp; Disc brake conversion was mounted and braided =
stainless steel flex brake lines hooked up at both ends.&nbsp; I have =
yet to run the brake lines.&nbsp; Maybe next.&nbsp;&nbsp; This rant is =
about the brand new Dayton wire wheels.&nbsp; I mounted the wire wheels =
which have temporary used tires on them so I can move the car when it is =
down off the dollies.&nbsp; After mounting the wheel I gave the two =
eared knockoff several pretty good whacks.&nbsp; Now the moment of =
truth.&nbsp; I grabbed the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock position and pulled =
straight back and forth.&nbsp; Yay! No play, but when I rocked the wheel =
it moved slightly.&nbsp; I thought it was the hub, but looking closely =
you can see the wire wheel hub rocking back and forth in the =
knockoff!&nbsp; What!?!&nbsp; How hard are you supposed to hit those =
knockoffs?</span><span lang=3DEN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p =
