Subject:'84 Hub cap problem
From:Rob
Date:Wed, 7 Jul 2010 15:36:47 -0700

I have an '84 Westy and have those metal chrome VW hub caps, the type
that you smack on the four raised areas on the stock steel wheels.
The problem is the drivers will not stay on, I think it's because of
the speedo cable in the cap. I can put the hub cap on and it looks
good but in not too long the hub cap takes off in it's own direction
at what ever speed I'm driving...  A metal VW frisbee rolling along
at 60 mph just doesn't look good if you know what I mean.

I'd like to fix this and thought I'd ask the list before I started
making that part of the hub cap "just a little bigger".  Anyone dealt
with this problem? Suggestions? Tips on making the hub cap "just a
little bigger?
