Stamped discs are in great demand due to their low price and great practicality. You can change their appearance with caps. But you need to know how to attach the hubcaps to stamped rims.
Necessary
- - thin fishing line;
- - plastic clamps;
- - scissors;
- - anti-corrosion compound;
- - caps.
Instructions
Step 1
Match a hub cap for your stamped disc. It was originally conceived to hold the cap on the disc without any fixtures. However, at high speed, from the impact of powerful air currents and impacts of stones, the disks cease to hold tightly and fly off the seat. Purchase caps with a special cap in the center. Place the cap on the wheel and screw the cap back on until it stops. She will press the cap as much as possible.
Step 2
Buy plastic disposable cable ties from a computer or hardware store. Try to find transparent ones so that they are invisible on the cap. Place the cover on the disc and press it firmly. Now turn the hubcap so that the holes in the hubcap line up with the holes in the wheel rim. Thread the end of the plastic strap through the holes in the cap and disc. Pull it out through the adjacent hole, insert the end into the clasp and tighten it as much as possible. Attach the hood with four of these clamps symmetrically relative to each other. Hide the locks carefully. To do this, turn the clamps so that the plastic locks are on the back of the cap.
Step 3
Buy thin fishing line. The transparent line will be almost impossible to see against the background of the cap, so it will seem that the cap is holding nothing. Install a new hubcap on the disc. Rotate it so that the holes on the cap and on the disc are aligned. Now thread the line through each hole in a circle, simulating sewing with a needle. After each threading, pull the line as much as possible to pull the cap as tightly as possible to the surface of the disc. It is best to pass through each hole. Then the cap will sit like a glove on the disc.
