I am sure Stan has these rubber seals. After that you can find chrome plated spot-tie at your motorcycle accessory shop or on line.

Gents- Thanks for the reply- I really appreciate your knowledge. I will get some jiffy ties and I guess everything will be O.K.!

Hopefully I'll see you in Auburn!

Pete, I have found the original Cord wheel extension ring that engages the hubcap clips are very inconsistent. The wheel went from a light wheel to several heavy wheel units. I have used a hammer to bump out the wheel rings where they engage the hubcap to tighten up the fit on the hubcap. Also many times the wheel ring has grooves cut into them from past hubcaps engaging a certain spot time after time. The split rubber on the edge of the hubcap was used to keep metal to metal edge contact from happening. This may help tighten up the caps, but is usually not necessary. I thing Stan sold these rubbers at one time. Of course for safety reasons, you can add wire ties to ensure the stay in place.

I use plastic zip ties to keep the hub caps from leaving. I call them HCLPDs.

Gents- My reproduction 810 hubcaps while beautiful rattle, and I'm afraid that one will fall off. Isn't there a band of some sort around the outside perimeter that I'm missing?

Thanks for any help
