As I wrote - the hub has female serrations on the back that match / cover / engage the male teeth around the adapter flange. The spinner holds the teeth in engagement.
Yeh I just failed to expand on my statement 
Precisely!

Hi Bo,
I found a photo of a BRG MKV which looks very smart, especially with matching hubcaps and a bit of whitewall!

Hi,
Well itâs green alright, but not exactly like 1952 BRG would have been. 
And no MKVâs made in 1952, nor ever originally painted any shade of BRG.
Suede Green and Pastel Green ((Metallic) were available and both were quite popular.
Could be a bit surprising if you choose âBritish Racing Greenâ from 1977-1985 as it is a very bright flaky metallic paint! 
The late 70âs and up to 1986 paint people call BRG was actually called âJaguar Heritage Greenâ paint code âHERâ.
Cheers!

Thatâs OK: Iâm sitting inâand sweating quietlyâin 39C!
I normally hate green on cars: that looks really good!
Hallo everyone
I thought they should always be repainted in their original color. Mine was black, which would be true even after the color certificate. I would also prefer to choose a different color, but then the color certificate is no longer correct, which is apparently very frowned upon by connoisseurs and should reduce the value.

Itâs hard to guess where the real world market is going with these cars.
So many of them are restored in two-tone, which was never a factory offering and I donât particularly like.
I once saw a Mark V in refrigerator white, I could hardly look at it, yuk!
Iâm restoring my Mark V in the original Gunmetal with red interior.
If you donât like Black, you could choose another of the original colors. I donât think many people would frown on that.
Here is an original color wheel with the Mark V color choices.

My '38 SS saloon was originally Ivory, which I also donât like at all, so I plan to restore it in another color that was offered in the period, Mountain Ash Green.
Yes, I think that must be the single red and white saloon that went to Ritchies of Glasgow, mentioned by Allan Crouch in his book, unless it is one of the two unknowns that went unrecorded in the factory record books.
Red and white makes me think of Coca-Cola.
I guess Iâm bothered by the British critics who say two-tone is âtoo flash, too Americanâ. 
Speaking of flash.

Easy solution: sodâem!
Biting the hand that feeds Wiggs? 
I think that itâs an awful colour scheme too. It reminds me of strawberries & clotted cream. However âBlack & Creamâ was used on Queen Victoriaâs carriage, so quite British, therefore not âflashâ at all! 
Isnât that right, Peter Scott?
The trumpets on the DHC in the photo are a wonderfully understated addition! I think Iâll fit some. 
No: biting the criticsâ hands!
I dont think the âBritishâ view is that two-tone is âtoo flash, too Americanâ - not like the ongoing White-Wall tyre commentaryâŚ
Indeed if you check out all the many Swallow bodied Austins/Standards etc you will find a good selection of Swallow factory original two-tone paint schemes, or more period, reintroduced for Mark VIII/IX, as per this following photoâŚ
The issue is good or bad taste - and red and white falls in the latterâŚ
Maybe thatâs why Jaguar re-introduced tasteful two-tone offerings, after not being offered immediately post-war, thus the poor-taste âspecial ordersâ

Ha, ha. So is that âtoo flash, too Australianâ?

Cant be American - its cream and not white, so not quite as harsh a contrast, but the killer is no whitewall tyres 
and painted, not chrome wheelsâŚ
Good-lookinâ vessel!
