Spinner retainer safety clips now standard equipment
Vintage Wheels is now including our unique spinner retainer clips as standard equipment on all wheel /adapter/spinner kits and also adapter kits.
The clips are spring stainless steel - a great fail safe device for added security ,spinners should still be tightened with a lead hammer and safety wired.
Please note the clips can be installed with or without the adapter end cap in place - see link below
1 x set adapter/spindle safety clips : Vintage Wheels, Hot Rod and Muscle car
Hey competition drivers - some organizations are making retainer clips a requirement!!

I guess that this is supposed to be better than the safety wires being used now? Is it better with the clips?

Hi Mother
the clip is fail safe device -it will prevent your spinner coming off , you should still safety wire .
Ford Racing 65
The Kirkham set up is a spring loaded mechanical device that works automatically ,our clips are inserted manually and can be retrofitted to many hub spindles.

My guess is you have to drill holes through the threaded hub to install the clip.

I looked at my wheels last night and the front face of the spinner is almost flush with the top of the hub threads. So I don't think there are enough exposed threads to install these even if I wanted to.
Is a properly installed spinner with safety wire adequate, or do I need to figure out some sort of retaining device, like this or the Kirkham set-up?

The wire is fine, this is just added safety...

I personally like the look of the wire tie and I've never heard of one failing in our application,
what's surprising to me is that there is quite a few other 60s cars jag,ect. that have knockoffs with no wire tie or other safety it all.
