 |
|
Hi,
I'm making an 80's 2cv more retro, and as I don't like the 80's hubcaps I want to fit early DS hubcaps like the ones on the brown car in the header bar. I bought a set from ebay France, which have a smooth small central stud on the front and a metal strip behind. I was going to drill out the little stud and bolt them onto the captive wheel nut. Then I noticed several of you have kept the small round stud and fixed them onto the wheels.
Can anyone tell me how they did it? 
Cheers |

probably by recreating on the 2cv rim the same slits that the Rim the hubcaps were designed for have in order to fit them on
