The only adapter I have measured is a Trigo. It is 90 degrees. I assume the Vintage hub adapter is 60 degrees, but I don't know. I'd need one to measure.

David,

I will attenpt to steal a Vintage Adapter from Terry Stapley and deliver it Monday. That way, you will have the Vintage Wheel, Vintage Pin, and Vintage Spinner. Now if we only had a 94-95 Mustang hub...

And apparently they also have a slightly better pin to start with! Or even a smaller diameter pin.

Dom,

David Kirkham and David Cindrich both measured the Trigo holes and the Vintage Holes. Exactly the same diameter!

The Vintage pin is slightly larger diameter than the Trigo pin. So, with the Vintage pin, it fits tighter than a Trigo. The Vintage pin is shorter as well.

Still, Kirkham's external-hex pin will be a far better answer because then the stud won't have to be trimmed to get a wrench on the pin! Very big deal. Eliminates the top of the pin from splitting. Of course the Trigo taper error is the biggest discovery so far.
