Hi Rich, just got to thinking,
Remember that the previous owner/seller could have used an odd assortment of parts on your car. Some of the parts "could" be incorrect to match the car number. The later cars were supposed to have a coarser thread, 8 threads per inch, on the hubs & knockoffs. Earlier hubs should have 12 threads per inch. You might even have different thread counts on the two sides. Count the threads per inch on both hubs & both knockoffs. Hold a ruler up to the threads & count how many there are in an inch. Or half that many threads in 1/2 inch.
Your car should have the 12 thread per inch hubs & knockoffs since it is earlier than #26705. The later 8 TPI would work if the knockoffs matched.
Wouldn't hurt to make sure that the hubs & knockoffs are installed on the correct sides of the car also. Counter clockwise to unscrew on the left side of the car & clockwise to unscrew on the right side of the car. Folks have been known to install the hubs on the wrong side of the car which makes them self loosening instead of self tightening. Since the only difference in left & right hubs is the thread direction, it's possible that the PO put them on the wrong side or even used the wrong hubs to save buying a new one. Better have a look at the front ones also.
To make matters worse, some Moss knockoffs were reportedly too tight to properly screw on to the hubs. If the thread counts are correct & the knockoffs screw onto the hubs without excessive force, you should be good to go. If they screw on very tightly or won't go fully on, there is a problem. They should go on pretty much all of the way with hand tightening. The hammer only needed for the last turn or so.
Good luck,
D
