Splined Hubs
| Option 1 | RSK067 - Front Left
RSK066 - Front Right
Integral fitting hubs so no nuts necessary
Click here for a guide to fitting hubs, caps and centre-lock wire wheels |
| Option 2 | RSMGB3RL - Rear Left
RSMGB3RR - Rear Right
Four RN12-MGB3 nuts per hub are required plus a spare.
Studs must be shortened otherwise they will foul the back of the wheel.
The recommended method of doing this is:
- remove steel wheel
- slide hub onto studs
- screw the spare nut down into place on one of the studs
- cut the stud back
- remove the nut and repeat until all studs have been shortened
- fit the hubs using the other nuts
The reason for this is that very often when cutting back the studs the nut will get damaged.
Bolt-on splines, unless fitted as original equipment, will increase the track by up to 1¼" per wheel
Studs will require shortening, click here for a diagram

| Option 3 | 1962 - 1964 models originally required 12 TPI adapters (drilled for 9/16 studs). However, this option has never been offered by MWS. The 8 TPI bolt-on adapters can also be fitted without any problems. |

Extra Information

Always check the history of the vehicle to ensure that there have been no modifications to the running gear.
Hubs/splines, spinners and nuts remain the same, unless noted otherwise, regardless of which wheel is fitted.
We also stock wire wheel maintenance accessories such as our Cleaning Kit (Refills available), Cleaning Brush, Degreaser and Tyre Foam.
