[ROVERNET - UK] Wire Wheels

I wondered what happend to that post, I sent it several weeks ago then 
nothing but its here now so all is well in Roverland.
Andrew, thanks for posting the photos of the hubs.

I have just checked the size of the hub nuts which is almost 100mm or 
very close to 4" across the flats and yes, there are 10 flats on each 
hub nut.

Now I see some confusion with names, I am David Walter living in 
California while a David Walker lives in New Zealand and it is me here 
in California who would like a new old stock Rover sized hub nut 
spanner.

Those little things for MG's just wont do it.

I do have the original spanner but it is, well, used, the tang is well 
knocked around where a steel hammer has been used to tighten/loosen the 
nuts instead of a mallet.

David
