Dress ring /hubcap tool
Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2018 1:55 pm
This one is a bit of an odd question.
When dress rings are fitted, most hubcap tools tend to "bottom out" on the dress rim before they get enough leverage to pop the hubcap. This means the dress ring has to come off first, then the hubcap (in order to prevent denting the dress ring). According to the old boy, there was a "bent" hubcap remover available (maybe NASCO, probably aftermarket) that would allow the hubcap to be levered off without removing the dress ring. It wa available around the EH era.
Does this ring bells with anyone? I've tried googling, but cannot find anything. Would love to buy or make one, as the old boy's EH Prem project is now underway.
Cheers,
Harv
