detroitsoul Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 So when the weather was a little nicer here in Michigan this past fall, we took the Zephyr for a short ride. Unfortunately, most of the hub caps became unsecured from the wheels and commenced to rolling every which way. My nine-year-old son got a kick out of it but I was a little dismayed that my adjustments were not successful. Good thing we weren't going fast! Can anyone recommend how to better secure the caps to the wheels? I played around with the rim clamps but I am not sure what method to employ for success. Once I get the carburetor rebuilt this spring, I am hoping to go cruising again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38ShortopConv. Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Give em a good wack with the soul of your rubber soled shoe or the palm of your hand above each mounting clip. I assume this is on the 38? I have only had two 38 LZs. Theres a large stud pattern and small stud pattern wheel , both use same type of hubcap mounting pins, non adjustable. If the pin heads are in reasonable condition and hubcaps are not out of round, they will stay on!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroitsoul Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Yes, it is a '38. I will try that out. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
