Cheers Paul, that's the sort of thing i was thinking about!

I'll have a tinker and see what i can do.

Although.... i have had my attention diverted on that bl00dy camper again as i was 'persuaded' into printing her out some badges



<sigh>

Back to the real hobby (the Miglia) and i have found something worth sharing with any Triumph based kit owner who's fitted wire wheels.

I have had the wheels off the Miglia doing some checks to see how it's holding up after year-1 on the road and i noticed that one of the front wire-wheel adapters had started to work slightly loose!

Now i had experienced that with the Sammio, so i had lok-tighted the nuts during the Miglia build, but it would seem that isn't enough and i am going to have to go down the "Centre-Punch" route!

Has everyone else with wire wheel adapters had to punch-secure the adapter nuts (i.e. the old wheel nuts) Or am i just unlucky / doing something wrong?
