I've been looking online at moto lita wheels and the associated bosses for 1969 morris mk2 mini.
The pictures of the boss kits arent looking similar to what is already fitted to my car.
I currently have an autotechnica wheel fitted with 6 holes attaching the wheel. The moto lita has 9 holes.
The moto lita bosses recommended look more funnelled where as the current one fitted id like the bottom half of a pint glass.
I dont want to order the wrong one from o/s due to postage costs.
I have looked atbuying locally but there is more than $100 difference in price even after factoring in exchange rates and express shipping.
Appreciate if anyone can help.
Moto Lita's website is not easy to follow. Recently bought a set for my '66 mini and had to email and phone for clarification!
The boss for our early minis is B1. That's the funnel shaped one in Tim201 photo and it matches the narrow column shroud.
Your mini if Mk2, should have the shorter, fatter column shroud fitted to mini K, Mk2 S and later clubman.
1969 was the changeover year for these so double-check which shroud you have.
The Moto Lita boss for the later shroud is (I THINK) B25 (not A, B, C etc) I have that boss on my mini K and looks a better fit.
The B1 (funnel shape) will fit the later shroud but looks a mismatch as the diameters of the boss and shroud are very different.
