hemsteadc Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Am I running in short- or long-term risks in driving it like this? Dust, dirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil D Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Am I running in short- or long-term risks in driving it like this? Dust, dirt? No, not at all. A top hat is purely decorative. In fact, look at the eighteen wheelers: truckers that have aluminum wheels on their drives will usually put chrome top hats on, too, but the guys with steel wheels on the drives never run any kind of cover over the hubs. If you don't mind the look of the hub protruding through the aluminum wheel, you'll do no harm driving it like that. If you don't care for the look of the bare hub but don't want to pay the Sportchassis price, every truck stop and chrome shop will have them in several price ranges. Take the one off of the other side and find something that comes close to matching.

SIBERNUT Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 If tandem, buy a pair off ebay, put the matching pair on one side & the red centers on the other. 2000 Volvo 635 A/S, N-14 Cummins"The Phoenix"'03 KA 38KSWB http://s918.photobucket.com/user/sibernut/library/?sort=6&page=1Furkids- Sibe's CH.

I've never checked these things .ever... maybe I should start now. Darn thing musta just fallen off. I doubt it was taken. I'll check ebay and truck stops.

RBH Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 There is also a special tool/wrench for the large nut that holds it on. If it isn't sufficiently tightened it'll disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don and Judith Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Lost one of my front covers. Called SC, they took my VIN#, and knew exactly what to ship. I also ordered a spare. If I remember right, cost me about 20 bucks. 2008 Freightliner M2 Sportchassis 2015 Redwood 38RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemsteadc Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 There is also a special tool/wrench for the large nut that holds it on. If it isn't sufficiently tightened it'll disappear. I used a large pliers with an old tshirt to protect from the jaws. I got 'er in pretty tight.. the nut has 'stopping places' to hopefully hold it. Can't budge the one on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
