[Healeys] Healeys] hubs .. splines

[Mark Schneider]

Listers,

I am sorry to hear that Mark lost a front wheel back in '75 but the  
advice of the police officer strikes me as an uninformed "expert".  It  
is not necessary to check your wire wheels weekly.  If the wheels  
splines and hub splines are both healthy and the wheel was mounted  
correctly initially one shouldn't have to check them that often.  It  
is my understanding that wire wheel knockoffs tend to tightena as the  
car miles add up.  That's not to say it is worth giving the knockoff a  
little tap now and then.  Another point prompted by Mark's entry is it  
a good idea to change the hub and wheel splines as a set, ,i.e., if  
you are buying a new splined wire wheel, purchase a new hub to mate  
the wheel to.
