Recommended Posts

As some of you may know i ve been unable to work for a couple of weeks due to ill health.Now i am on the mend and not one to sit around watching time go by i decided i'd should be able to undertake a little mod with out compromising my recovery.

 

Replace my wheels a couple of weeks back but never really took to the wheel centres.

One thing lead to another and this idea jumped into my head.

 

First of i removed the wheel centres...

Dug out a spare wing z logo i had and removed the location prongs from it

The great thing here was that the badge was the same diameter as the wheel centres.Seeing that the o/e centres were retained by small bolts i though i d carry this over.I removed the 6 bolt from the centre cap,3 of them being dummies and there just to make the numbers up :lol: .Next job was to mark the wing badge and drill the holes.

I then placed the centre cap onto the wing badge and pilot drilled the holes.

Next i sprayed the the ''new'' wheel centre cap silver as the black didn't work against the silver of the wheel.

Refitted all the bolts and fitted to the wheel

Personnally i think it works alot better then the centres that came with the wheels....thanks to Keyser for dropping the extra wing badges round this morning (and getting me out of bed)so i could finish the the job.

Good job Bob B) Been pondering what to do with mine, or just leave them plain silver as is :shrug: Anyway, while you're up and about could you pop up to Surrey and finish painting our hall, landing and stairs, it shouldn't in anyway compromise your recovery :teeth:;)
