So it would appear whoever made these up took the design under serious consideration as have you.
The only shortcoming is the internal hex, which can present a problem on installation & removal if one is not very carefull.

Craig,

If you still want some shorter ones for the Vintage wheels, just let me know. We have some more in the mill right now.
