Hmm... I like it 👍. Just make sure you get the metal shavings out of the bearing grease and seal up that dust cap if you plan on driving it. Beautiful car.

Да! И ещё один маленький секрет - сначала накручиваем гайку ,затем отрезаем шпильку с резьбой и затем гайку снимаем.Заход на резьбу восстановлен! Это чтобы не мучаться с напильником.

Yeah, awesome idea but needs a seal to be waterproof in case you get caught by a surprise rain, or just to keep ambient moist air out.

the first time I ever saw spinner rims had a very similar feel. the guy had weighted the spinners on one side so the wouldn't turn. I looked over and this rusty suburban with massive chrome rims was coming across the parking lot, but at the time I looked he was crossing a puddle, and the rims where not spinning so I thought he somehow managed to hydroplane at 25 mph, it took my brain a second to figure out what was actually going on.

Nicely done, VERY slick! It took me a minute to realize that the threaded rods were REMOVED from those welded nuts on your wheelcovers, thus giving you a "treaded hole" in which your "threaded spindle rod" could now fit into. Again, VERY cool, great commentary and a NICELY done video! Lastly, your method for finding those wheelcover centers was ingenious. 😎😎😎 I enjoyed your video very much!

I like the idea , thoigh gundtilling the end of the spindle can weaken it , you cann have someone custom make a new cap style nut thats longer and has the tread at the end fur the alltread amd a few hole crossdrilled for the cotterpin might need a differen dustcover for it thosugh or make the nut so it doubles as a dustcover too

Nice! Thanks for the show. May I suggest another possible M.O.? A "hat" fastened to wheel/hub/rotor/drum by whatever method makes sense. Possibly the hat "sandwiched" under lug nuts to retain the hat? Center a small sealed bearing on the hat. Fasten the wheel cover to the hat's bearing. The wheel cover may require a bit of weight at its bottom to keep it from walking. This hat-bearing method would work on drive axles also.

Great look, not real sure about 3/8" threaded hole down the center of a 3/4 unf wheel bearing retainer thread though. Also a lot of weight hanging from the stud, if you hit a bit of a bump. But I suppose with the big Xplys it isnt an issue.

That's real neat , but I wonder if here in Western Australia, it's illegal. Because of drilling the axle. My son had trouble because the rear seat was out. Reason...seat belts were in place and there were bolt holes for the seat. The fact the seat wasn't there wasn't the problem it was the bolt holes for the seat didn't have bolts in them.
