Title: Wheel part name
Post by: TheBoy on 03 October 2019, 13:57:49: Hmmm, does this bit have a correct name, as my searches for centre caps seem to only return the smaller round ones....

Page heading suggests it's called a Cap :y

Bit that isn't scuffed to balls?
Round bit in the middle?

Dunno. :P

Post by: Andy B on 03 October 2019, 17:55:15: No idea ..... but how have you let someone put clip on weights on your wheel? ???

It's not a problem now as none of my wheels have anywhere to clip a weight to, but I always insisted they use stick on weights on the inside of the rim ::)

Title: Re: Wheel part name
Post by: dave the builder on 04 October 2019, 10:28:00: Just to add...
they come off very easy ,no tools required :(
if you clean and de-grease the cap and wheel center,put a couple of blobs of silicone between (to glue them on)
you don't need to remove them to get at the wheel nuts ,so semi permanent fixing is not a problem :y

You're welcome :y

Post by: TheBoy on 04 October 2019, 17:45:34: Thanks for the links, my searches were just returning the smaller round ones :)

DTB - silicone? As in the bath sealant stuff? Not that I'm likely to have any that hasn't gone off ;D. Its finding an adhesive that makes it hard to get off, but still easy enough for when it needs balancing again ;D. Actually, I think that tyre has a slow puncture. Again.

instant gasket, RTV sealant ,bathroom silicone ,sanitary silicone
sticky rubbery stuff
screwfix £3.15 big cartridge (https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-general-purpose-silicone-clear-310ml/35887)
or
ebay £1.95 to fit through letter box (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-SUPER-AURE-GASKET-MAKER-85g-BLACK-CLEAR-BLUE-AND-RED/162932741603?hash=item25ef8c55e3:m:mGIk8vA_LhPbrf73DJ8iipg)

don't go mad with it, couple of strategically placed blobs will hold it on without needing a gas axe to get it off when needed ;D

never lost one off the Zaf elegance (tractor) ,or the 4 stud version on bro's astra G alloys

Are you telling me, when you were little and dad was filling up with 4 star, you never unwound the window for a good whiff?

;)
Title: Re: Wheel part name
Post by: dave the builder on 05 October 2019, 19:58:55: you will have to sniff it to make sure it's NOT solvent based
have a good couple of lung fulls
if it is solvent based you won't be bothered about wheel centers ;)
or , if your "in touch with your feminine side" you could read the label ,
but that's like reading instructions ,it's a slippery slide apparently ::)
