You talkin' Sombreros? Roothawg did up a nice page showing his trick a while back that I saved. Here's the link: http://members.cox.net/roothawg1/roothawg1/Sombrero_Tech.htm Here's another link with a copy from '58 Custom Cars' article on adapting caps that was also in my archive: http://www.geocities.com/hamerd9156/captrick.html Hope that helps.
I recently asked a and vetran hot rodder and good friend of my Fathers the same question. He told me to run sombrero's on my 16in ford wheels that I could silver solder them to the alum trim rings then polish out the front afterwards as the cap is stainless. He is my one man H.A.M.B.
