Another Momo Question, Early or Late Adapter Options

[BeatNavy]

Santa brought me a Momo Prototipo for my '72. I know I need the hub adapter, and I know there's an early and a late adapter, with the early one being NLA, and that putting a later adapter (accordion type) on an early car is not ideal. What I can't tell in this case is the specific cutoff. Is "early" in this case '71 and '70? Will the late adapter (p/n 8002) work with my '72?

If I need the early adapter, are any of those third party early adapters being sold a decent option?

TIA.

I just went through this on my 1970. I can't tell you what the cutoff date is because I have an early car and I wasn't paying much attention to the later stuff, but I can tell you the hubs are TOTALLY different form one another. You simply cannot use a late hub on an early car, will not work at all.

I searched high and low for a MOMO 8000 adapter and finally paid a ransom payment of $400 to some rapist for a complete turd that needed to be refinished. Now I have a momo on my car, so I guess it's OK.

As a comparison, the late adapters were going for $40-50 all day, cheap enough where you could buy one to test it out and not be worried about the loss of $50.
