^Ken,I'm kind of in the same boat,followed your link and 'Oh I think not". A wee bit pricey mate.

Stop in at any major truckstop along most any interstate highway, and you'll probably find what I found: The cheapy chrome lugnut covers for 18 wheelers fit the VW rear axel nut perfectly (and their bumper bolt covers fit VW lug bolts as well). You probably can't read the price tag on the one I'm holding in this pic, it's 59¢

They make covers for the rear axle bolt on motorcycles. Search eBay and you might find what you need in the correct 36mm size.

That cover begs to be spun from stainless steel sheet and polished....or die-stamped...

I've seen one outlaw 356 with the covers made out of an old muffin tin found at the second hand store
or measure the hole size and look for a press in cover. I sourced some for mine on ebay.

Hi there
does anybody know if some one makes rear axle cover, before I try machining one up.
I am running 944 spares (like the Porsche outlaws on my 65)
in the fronts I chromed the dust covers to match the polished wheel.
for the back I tried a chrome axle nut and it just didn't cut it.
you can see my front wheel with the chromed cap
and the next picture id not great but it shows just a black nut on the rear
thanks for any help
Russ
