Sean, you can use the splined hub extensions from any of the 'big' Triumphs,
TR2-6, Stag, 2000, etc. but I don't know of any other cars that use the same
ones. Healeys both big and small are definitely different, and AFAIK MG
never used the extensions but had special hubs for wire wheels (ala TR2).
The extensions are available new for only about $70/each, which IMO makes it
not worthwhile screwing around with eBay and possibly getting worn ones.
However, keep in mind that the wheels wear to match the hubs & vice versa.
If your hubs are worn out, so are your wheels, and they should probably be
changed as a set.
Your money, your car, just my $.002 worth
