Cragar Chrome Soft 8 rims now on order from the US

CD · **Posted:** Tue Jul 17, 2007 7:14 am

I made this out of the existing wheel carrier cover + a few screws. Only a bit of cutting to help the get the lights to sit flush & wide enought so I could use the existing wheel carrier bolts to hold it on.

(I reduced this to make it smaller than the others but it's still larger

)

This show's how small a beer I can pull :lol:

. I got the rubber plug from an auto shop, but I had to drill the rivet out 1st.

The light housing unscrews from the original carrier & I've drilled new holes so I can bolt it onto the plastic plate

I need to get some black paint for the top of the light cover but the black tape will do for now.

Ginger bread man anyone

When you remove it you just twist the light bulbs out, unscrew the top 2 bolts, remove the plate, then it's the same as normal.

I couldn't find the pen to hide the numbers but this was a lot more fun.

4 Rims are on the ship

, the 5th may come via air with the C-Cap's or on the next boat.

Not a big deal with the 5th rim atm, if I have to change a wheel the spacer can get me out of trouble. Last thing I want to do is cost Wooders any extra dosh.

You need to do something about the infestation of butterflies, flowers, balls and gingerbread men in your garage.

Who you gonna call?

Yes, spoke to Wooders yesterday. Boat is due on Sat the 11th (on time), he allowed time to get it unloaded & back to his place. So the 15th is still the date. He get's the centre caps this week, but the 5th rim didn't make it. The 5th rim will come out on the next shipment, so if I get a flat I will have to put the spacers on to help me get out of trouble (no big deal).

That's cutting it fine but can be done, you will need to get to the tyre shop pm Thur or early am Friday. Keeping the fingers crossed Fouros.
