I purchased some and for the life of me can't get the moons to catch on to the clips. Can some one who has done this project give some advice? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 | I think just about everyone goes through this because there must be a hundred different wheels that fit these trucks but only a couple have the correct clips.
Try measuring the ones that work and compare them to the ones that don't. Chances are you clips are too far recessed. I sidestepped the whole issue when I put disk brakes on mine and put a set of Smoothies from Wheelsmith on mine. They sell hubcaps that match the stock design.
Good luck. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 | see daves tips on hub-caps... i'll bet you could make it work w/ a little helpin' know how........ http://www.speedprint.com/deves50/hubcapclips.phpi had to space my clips higher so my dishes would fit. i think i used #10 or #12 machine screws (by x length) to do mine and a 1/4''i.d. (or smaller) steel pipe as the spacer.  extra clips are about $1.25 ea. at any of the AD supply catalogues. i bought 24.
