Haven’t fitted it yet but will probably drill a hole in the side and plug weld it on.

Yes forgot to mention that the spline has a solid section so it only fits in one orientation.

 :D :D :D - I found it in the end.

I'll be having a look at the lower boss over then next week or two. I'll let you know what I come up with.

I prefer the sprung disc type of Quick Release Hub rather than the push button type as I find them easier to get on and off. But on saying that I have used one of these below(if the link works) which are made in Britain and only cost a few quid more.

If you can drive round corners, you're not going fast enough.

Not at all, I may just have been unlucky. I let the seller know and he is sending a replacement. Your better experience gives me hope that the replacement will solve the problem.
I don't want to bore you all with the details, here. But if you are interested, have a look at my blog https://peteskart.blogspot.com/

... Reminds me of the punchline to a 70's joke...
"Looks like a dream, goes like a dream, steers like a cow" ... Moo ;D


Addendum
Actually, I just looked up the place I might have got that from and surprised myself... I got the decade wrong just and miss-quoted it some how but it shows me how much of an impression the author had on me...

Good one
I saw that someone here has nabbed the number 42! Restaurant at the End of the Universe was a favourite of mine!

I removed my negative comment here about a quick release that was faulty because the customer service guy was so helpful and now I have a perfect quick release boss

I have just received this one from McGill Motorsport for £20 very well made with zero play.

Yes , These parts from McGill are fine , i have been using them on my Austin CK .

 They have put up with quite a lot of wear n tear and still work well  ;D

Would advise getting splined part, professionally welded to column  , if you can .
