    Thanks Rich, The Adaptor is just a turned aluminum washer. My car came from Lyndwood with round back spindles. There are nuts welded to the bottom front brake backing blate holes and a tap is wekldfed to the axle. My guess is this was for some wheel locking setup for towing the car. I finally saw a ophoto of the Lyndwood wire wheel dust cap. They are nice but it looks like my car ran a tapered cap. something i'll have to get machined. :)

    Not sure if I'm helping you or you me. This setup is from an old FED I have. 1941 or so Willys axle and spindles, looks like they cut down the hub and bored out the wheel. The wheel is 18" w/ 40 spokes and avon tires. Inner bearing 15118 outter 09074. Having trouble loading pix.

    Thanks for the help. You think this is a HD wheel? It looks like the Willys hub was turned down and welded inside the bored out mc hub.
