Sometimes there are places around the rim of the hole where they have been staked (mashed, as we say round chere). You will need to fix those areas.
Put the cap in place and strike the center with a hammer.
You can stake around the rim several times with hammer and small punch if it will make you more confident in holding it in place.

The caps fit into the groove quite nicely. Then what Carl says....... | | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 914 | That was a link to a great post, thanks.
