Ok,pay attention.If you have a 3 nub wheel there is a pronounced ring at the bottom of the nubs.Exactly the diameter of the early small caps.Drill a hole ot the bottom of each nub right on the ring.Tap and use a 10/32 oval head machine screw.Run the screw down tight then back it off just enough to catch the rim of the cap.Snap the cap on and your done.If you have a wheel with 4 nubs then space three holes evenly around the ring and you will get the same results.Don't try with four holes,you will never get the cap centered.Now see how easy that was? Also, tomorrows sometimes don't come tomorrow! 4790690-MVC-048S.JPG (93 downloads)
