HK have 8 small rectangular slots arranged in 4 pairs of 2 , HT have 4 very narrow long slots

They seem to match Blacky's description for HK?

I had HTs on the stock hubs of my EK sedan when I first got it. Later one of the centres cracked between the stud holes. Could this have been due to using the EK wheel nuts rather than HT? At the time it was put down to incompatibility with the HR disc hubs I later fitted.

Even though I always liked the idea of using the 14s I was disappointed that the 13" caps wouldn't fit. Recently Jeff Stewart from the FE FC site showed me the 14" rims on his sedan which were made by welding in cut down 13" rim and centre to 14" rims. Clever and legal? I believe they came from Perth and aren't widely available. Wouldn't mind a set with disc brake centres if anyone has any leads. Assuming these are legal then should be able to get local rim works to make some up.
