Wheel: what Tightening torque
#41 Re: Wheel: what Tightening torque
Back to the need of the wheels to be off the ground while knocking the spinners, I am wondering how more easily that would allow the wheel to seat, taking account of the millimetric (at most) lateral displacement of the wheel inside the well when knocking and the available flexibility of the tire to accomodate it.
Or do I miss something?

My friend David, a long time VCC member and racer warned me of the danger to my car he had seen on many an occasion when someone was removing or fitting a wheel with these spinners, whereby the swung mallet clouts the wing of the car instead of the ear!!
Mindful of this and finding on here the Lionel Knock-off Spinner Removal tool - I bought one - before I had read through this thread
What a trusting fellow "I'll send the tool, just put the £50 in an envelope and send it back to me 2nd class in the envelope I enclose". Yes, it cost me only 50, but I paid him by PayPal - to be sure he got it. Tool arrived yesterday
Also, I think he does not make them. There's a manufacturers sticker inside the tool.
I need to look at my spinner fit as I measured them and they are 105/106mm diameter.

Thanks. They do not look to be genuine judging by David's descriptions, principally by the inside markings. The JAGUAR on the outside looks OK though.

Most of the "pre-owned" spinners on eBay are genuine. Most important is to check the 'Jaguar' logo is as per the original. Remove the oil filler cap from your car and have it next to you as you search eBay to cross reference the design of the logo and font.

Hi
Sorry to drag up this old thread
I need advice on spinners for my ‘62 OTS
I have a collection of original spinners which I plan to sort through and have the knocks taken out and rechromed
I am a little unsure as the profiles do vary
They are all 1466/7 AB but some are more “defined” in the profile of the spinner ears and sharper angled where the ears connect to the body
Which is correct?
It would seem that the sharper, better defined ears would be earlier (maybe whilst the moulds were newer)
Any views
See attached photos

The spinner dies wore out over time so expect some variation over the many years of production. Choose a matching set and if you are still concerned measure the weight of each. The specification are:
Height - 38mm (1.5")
Diameter - 101.6mm (4")
Outer wall thickness - 6.5mm (1/4")
Inner wall thickness - 5.4mm (7/32")
Depth from top of wall to bottom of casting - 31.6mm (1 1/4")
Weight - 885gms (31oz)
