Wheel Hubcap / Wheel Simulator Retention

Recommended Posts

This is more of a heads-up type of post. I don’t know how often you check the retaining/jam nuts on your wheel simulators but I have found my retaining/jam nuts loose twice. As a matter of fact, I lost one nut and two covers on my last trip. I could not find anyone who carried Dicor parts for my application in my area (Dallas- Fort Worth) so I looked up the Dicor website. http://dicorproducts.com/Wheel-Parts-Finder/

Using their Wheel Parts Finder, I ordered a couple of jam nuts and covers. Well when they came in they were the wrong size. Well upon further review as they say, I discovered that my installation has/uses stud extensions. Well after another call to Dicor they sent me the right parts.

I would recommend using a drop or two of Loctite “blue” (removable) to keep them from coming loose. A small amount on the nut covers wouldn’t hurt either.

If anyone needs the part numbers I can give them to you.

Bill
