buster Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 As some of you may know i ve been unable to work for a couple of weeks due to ill health.Now i am on the mend and not one to sit around watching time go by i decided i'd should be able to undertake a little mod with out compromising my recovery. Replace my wheels a couple of weeks back but never really took to the wheel centres. One thing lead to another and this idea jumped into my head. First of i removed the wheel centres... Dug out a spare wing z logo i had and removed the location prongs from it The great thing here was that the badge was the same diameter as the wheel centres.Seeing that the o/e centres were retained by small bolts i though i d carry this over.I removed the 6 bolt from the centre cap,3 of them being dummies and there just to make the numbers up .Next job was to mark the wing badge and drill the holes. I then placed the centre cap onto the wing badge and pilot drilled the holes. Next i sprayed the the ''new'' wheel centre cap silver as the black didn't work against the silver of the wheel. Refitted all the bolts and fitted to the wheel Personnally i think it works alot better then the centres that came with the wheels....thanks to Keyser for dropping the extra wing badges round this morning (and getting me out of bed)so i could finish the the job.

Iwantone Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Quality Buster!!! I hate things that are not what they appear to be, and your old wheel centres certainly fitted into that category. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
