[Healeys] Healeys Tires/wheels lose

[John Vrugtman]

Have a friend with a BJ8 he had bought from someone who had exchanged 
the front hubs with jaguar hubs to install larger wheels. That person 
installed them reversed.  One day driving home from our house one of the 
wheels came off.  Fortunately nothing was damaged besides the brake disk.
