Nardi hub for a BN1?

[55modified]

I want to change from a moto lita to a Nardi wheel. Having trouble finding information on correct nardi hub part #. I have found adapter for the opposite swap but not for my plan so i will have to swap hub or boss out too. Any suggestions?

You might check Lempert, https://www.pbase.com/mdlempert/wheels

Agree. Mike Lempert is very knowledgeable and can probably point you in the right direction.

What is the ID of the hole in the center of your Nardi wheel?

Don't have the wheel yet.

Moto Lita & Lempert wheels have a hole of 3-1/2" / 88mm (sounds like a German tank gun).
If the Nardi hole is smaller, maybe it could be enlarged; if larger, it would be pretty easy to make a ring adapter.

Nardi hubs are available for Spridgets - maybe Moss could tell you if the shaft splines are the same as the BN1.

Seems like it would be better to adapt the wheel to the readily available Moss hub.

Again, Lempert might be your best bet as he works with all different kinds of wheels.

Keep in mind, you also have to specify whether you are dealing with an adjustable or non-adjustable column.

Mine is non-adjustable fixed hub.

If you get a hub, you'll have come up with another solution for the turn lights, as the Nardi hubs are too small to accommodate the trafficator.

My trafficator is nonfunctional. Nardi rep says he doesn't think they make a hub for my car but i find that hard to believe.

I would modify a Motolita unit. They are much larger than the Nardi and a bit of time on the lathe should work.
