If one gets stolen, they're only $9 each anyway. ;) Haven't had one stolen yet, though the left side front one did fly off when I hit a speed bump once. I had to bow it a little with my knee to get it to clear the speedometer cable end better, after that it stayed on. As a side benefit, that tight fit keeps your lug nuts clean! Seriously...the lug nuts on my '75 bus were pristine. The ones on my '82, which originally had the plastic basket-weave wheelcovers, were pretty rusty. -- David Brodbeck, N8SRE '82 Diesel Westfalia '94 Honda Civic Si |
