You are clearly right about these!
I would suggest though that a single bolt from the inside of the sports wheel could secure a 3 legged spider for the rear disk and the front disk without the need for a captive nut.

I am inclined to agree with Mike on the basis of the evidence presented here, however I do agree that the competition department may have made some changes in an attempt to ensure the discs ran perfectly true and did not upset wheel balance.

I have a Rosengart which had a one bolt disc attachment drilled through closed centre hubs. I only have or had two of these wheels, since filled in. I don’t have disc as my model was not supposed too, unlike popular belief that all Rosengarts should have
I am always interested in any information about Rosengart details or current owners.
