Billet rear hubs - hub nut covers?
Turbo Mini Forums

What have you guys done when using billet rear hubs for covering the hub nut and split pin?

I've seen the Mini Sport ones come with plastic covers but was wondering if there was another option for the DSN Classics rear hubs?

Cheers

Hey Tom. I bought the DSN classics rear billet hubs and i also bout two new covers. I found these covers to be WAY too tight, so i put them in the lathe and shaved them down. I actually had to take alot of material off the hub nut covers, but now they fit like a glove :)

I'm going to measure the hole tomorrow and see if any of these will fit

is putting steel covers (i assume) into alloy hubs advisable? they may scrape off the anodising and start corrosion. plastic would be better if you can find something.

I think these might be worth trying...

I've ordered some of the above to see if they'll fit

I use the plastic trailer ones as above. They are very tight in the standard iron hub but a little fettling and they are perfect

I seriously doubt it!

I've managed to get some from somewhere else locally which are a perfect fit for £3 each. I bought some spares if anyone is interested?

The metal ones weigh 40gms each and the plastic one weighs 9gms
