I would be surprised if Andy at Tornado does not have them available.

Moss and Rimmers both have some for MG and the like
They may work

I know that John Wisher used to make them, I emailed him to the last address I have for him but haven’t heard back; anyone knows if he is still around and making GT40 parts?

These are not as per your photo, but can be bought without threads, thus you can turn your own bespoke Tornado threads.

Thanks Morten, I have a set of these spinners but need a set of the flat version due to protrusion and period look, as I am building a gulf MK1with Wilwood 6 pots up front - pic attached.

Why is this massive lip there?
Looks like a very narrow chamfer.

One of my wheels, same spinner.

Hi Morten, I will need to ask Andy!

 

[Douglas]

That looks like a machining step aas missed.

 

[Morten]

Any luck on the wheels?

Here is one more of my sets of Image Wheels for reference if that helps.

[Adrian Starling]

Thanks Morten, I have! Andy at Tornado found a set for me!

 

[Morten]

Good stuff.

Hi all, I know you have already solved your issue Adrian but I heard back from John Wisher and this may help other people on the forum; He is still making some parts but only un-machined castings these being the spinners and rear upright, he may produce other parts.

His contact information is below.

Re: the Tornado center wheel and the spinner, by remachining ie facing off the excess and widening the taper you would get the Tri-spinner to fit an easily 25-35mm further into the center.

Very true Morten and I will be carrying this out on all 4 corners. Thank you for your very helpful inputs!
