I have a problem with my 54. I put BRM wheels on my car but I can't get the front center caps on because of the spindle nuts! Any suggestions, please!!

Yes you're right. Somebody actually makes a repro BRM cap that is raised to clear that nut. I had them on my 59 vert and had to take a 2x4 and flatten my dust caps and sink in my speedo cable to get the regular caps to fit.

Thanks, do you know where I should start looking for that cap!

suggestions? 58-64 brakes. bolt on shorter snout and larger brakes. you are not stock,so 58-64. front and rear.

I think either ISP West or FAT Performance has them. I had Pyroman make some aluminum spacers for me, that set-screw into the wheel, on my Single Cab, wait til you try to stick a center cap on the front drums of a Type 2... :shock:
