UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
"I'm not sure of the exact age of this set but they did come off a WW2 GPW. I have heard that dual wheel adapters may have been used during WW2 particularly on radio jeeps but I have not personally seen photos or documents to substantiate this. I do have a Korean War era photo from the National Archives that does show duals on a GPW/MB. (photo above in slide show)
The dual wheel kit is very easy to install. Remove the original lug nuts from a wheel, leave the wheel on, install extended lug nuts, install the cast hub, install next wheel, and tighten up original lug nuts on extended lug nuts.
The kit includes both left (5) and right (5) threaded extended lug nuts and two cast hubs.
These dual adapters are in good usable shape; there are a couple chips out in the lips of each casting but these chips do not affect use or appearance. They are not visible with the second wheel installed.
These Dual wheel adapters are extremely hard to find so don't miss this rare opportunity to put this ready to go set on your jeep. You'll be sure to stand out in the crowd and these can be shipped world wide."
