OK, looks like this is hubcap fffrenzy fffriday, so I'll jump in:

I hate my hub caps.  All three of them.  They came with the bus and
they are a PITA--I can't check tire pressure or add air without
removing them first, because the hubcaps hide the valve.

I strongly suspect i have non-stock hubcaps.  Do others have this
valve-access problem?  I'm seriously thinking of just removing all of
them, or better, go with a set of steel '72(?)-'79 bus hubcaps.
