Gomog, thanks for the heads up....
George. YOU may still call me Lorne.
As for over-torquing wheel spinners.... Hmm.. ?
Yes as I mentioned. I began my Morgan existence going through by going through sets of battered spinners at a rate of a set every 18 months. And this after I missed and broke a wheel wire using the 5-sided thingies and their short adapter. Tim Waller, ex-AutoX, ex-eMog ex- et al, turned me on to Ferrari, the fella who made wire wheel and centre locks famous. I believe you were there at the time. Wire wheel only became the iconic gorgeous (and frustrating) British thing after that. Waller has many old Morgans (5 shown on the Morgan Registry) and an old Ferrari as well among other cars he works on. When he mentioned the Enzo torque to me, I was shocked. But research showed he was right! He found the breaker bar adapter fabricator (3 ears only) for me 25 years ago and I have used it and nary a problem with centre-locks since. I am pleased there are so many variants on that theme now.
The sad thing about tapered spines is by the time we realize what has happened, both hubs and wheels are shot. Now that is expensive..wheels AND hubs! Happily I had figured out the centre-locks and non-damaging torque BEFORE my first Morgan melted and the all-stainless test set the MMC sent me (bless'em) solved the other issue of rust. After that I merely need to learn how to tune wire wheels hem,
which musically speaking is easy for any of us who grew up with 60s music! 
Wire wheels were originally adopted by Enzo, because they were lighter than steel in the pre-alloy era. They are also drop dead gorgeous,
thougha first class PIA. Even today,
alloy wire wheels are the lightest of all.Of course, the centre lock system is silly for a road going car. I do not need Formula 1 speed to remove road going wheels any more than we need oil coolers or racing roll bars when we don't race. But hey, why not play the part?!

P.S.I prefer Lorne
