    I completely agree. Ever since the first Singer I saw, I wondered why they use those accordion hub adapters. If they can't drop the $500 on an original solid hub, the least they could do is buy the faux solid hub cover. They are just so much more aesthetically pleasing

    I am guessing they are trying to maintain the collapsible feature of the original adapter, but I can't believe something better cant be thought up.

    Yeah, I knew what you meant, I have one of those on my car, well a Racemark version . I was talking about the Momo hub adapter being collapsible. But I don't know.

    The one I pictured IS the collapsible momo one. Instead of the accordion cover they've made a different cover to look like the solid hub momo or racemark. (I've got the racemark one as well)

    Maybe the style of the column is in keeping with the gearshift boot. Is it me or does the targa look more like Sepia than orange? Alert Frank.
