I've ordered the disk brake kit and I need to let them know if I have the safety hubs or not. How can I tell if the prior owner installed them? I doubt it but thought I'd double check.
Thanks,
Mike

a wheel off that will tell you. philip

What they look like. 2 styles unlikely that you have the "new" improved if any at all.. Might cause you to get the "New" improved

Wire wheels, wood wheels? It makes a difference. Regardless, the grease cups on the ends of the rear axle are used to hide the locking screw. If you're not sure, if you turn the grease cup out you'll see the aluminum surface of the hub if there is one.

Sorry, wire wheels. I downloaded the pdf on wire wheel safety hub installation from Texas Ts. Looks like I'm looking for a set bolt.
Thanks,

OK. All I found was a grease cup full of grease. Sooooo...no safety hubs as I expected.
Thanks for your help!
