Does anyone know how you modify these caps or the bus hubs for these Wolfsburg Centercaps to fit over the front dust caps and rear brake drum locknut?

I have produced a spacer so the BRMs will look "clean" on a bus. The ones pictured here are on a single cab that Dave Cormack used to own. I have also produced a "cap" for polished EMPIs but they went on a bug so they were standard sized. Where are you located at and/or can you take some measurements so I can make them to fit your needs? :?

I also have capabilities to engrave whatever you want on the top of the caps, even if it is your face! :P

Hey! I drove that truck to the Classic last year! That thing would haul ass! Sucked a valve cover and dumped oil all over the nice, pretty fatboy muff though! Had to change gaskets in the show area.

I was looking at the chrome wolfsburg caps in the classifieds. I'm not sure how they attach but the dust covers on the front hubs stick out too far. The rears are iffy. I just wondered if anyone has done a similar install. Thanks for the info thus far.

No sweater! :wink: Mine attach with setscrews from the inside, you will loose the wheel before one of them come off!!! :P

Good luck either way! 8)

Those look sweet, PyrO! Can you make a whole cap or just a spacer? The fake Fuchs on my SC would look tons better if they had caps with the club logo engraved on them. What do you think? Are those made out of Aluminum or Stainless?

Aluminum, bring that thought up next time we see each other (and you're driving your SC!) so I can take the measurements. The club logo would look sweet on them alright! 8)
