Not Ranked
In the mid 60's I had an XKE and a '55 MGA and both had knock offs.
I don't ever remember seeing anyone safety wiring knock offs at that time and
I never had any trouble taking them off or having them come loose.
I drove the snot out of both cars and maybe I was just lucky but just thought
I'd just mention this as a glimpse back in time as how things were then. I
didn't do any track driving so they may have been safety wiring the wheels
in those applications. I do safety wire my Kirkham - take no chances!
