Rear hub question

I am hoping someone may be able to tell me if the hub on my '42 WM20 is correct for the bike. I have seen others that have the brake drum fixed with three bolts. Mine does not have that so I am unsure if the hub is the right one.
Thanks in advance.

Mark your hub is from tel / rigid models I have one on my 1950 ZM20. I would just use it until correct 3 bolt qd wheel comes along if your worried about originality.. Dave

Re: Rear hub question

Thanks Dave. Well that's a bit of a bummer.
So how is the brake drum attached to the hub?

It even looks like you have the speedo drive on the rear wheel? Ron

Re: Rear hub question

Are you talking about the spacer on the right Ron?

This picture is from my M33 1948 photo 100_2550_zpsb22db1ca.jpg It hase a tele fork and a gearbox with a speedo drive .When the older ones have a old gearbox 1947 then the speedo drive is on the rear wheel.

Re: Rear hub question

Hmmm. Now I'm wondering if the rear frames of the wm20 and later frames that use this hub are the same width and whether the correct spacers etc have been used. I know the center of the brake plate does not fit over the the inner spacer but it may be just paint unless they are mismatched parts.
Lots of fun with these old girls eh.
