(This hub refurb starts on page 9)
Another little one of my gimmecky tweeks as follows.....home made dust caps worked a treat but I fancied something different so out came a small piece of 1mm aluminium and cut it the same dia as the dust caps I made and utilising my hardwood "bowl" again

Working my way down to the bottom of the bowl and nearly finished (not)


That side done now time to turn it over and use an old duff mushroom and and the back of an old wire brush as a slapper, I gently peen the ally over the edge of the mushroom to create a false dust cap

Why I hear you ask!!!....if you have followed the making of my wishbones you will realise I have foolishly (and I mean that) set a standard I need to uphold and although it will be time consuming it is MY stamp that I am putting on it and I don't care how long it takes. Anyway heres is a piccy of said false dustcap which has been polished up.....the next time you see it ,it will be anodised a fiery red along with my anodised mushies
