Rear wheel bearing dust cap

Post by Andyvandy »

Hi,

The rear wheel bearing dustcaps are missing on the van.
It has the original steel wheels fitted.
I have searched high and low to get replacements but cannot find any.

Does anyone know where I could get some from?

Thanks

Thanks,

I guess I will just have to make sure the hub nuts are kept well greased!
They were bone dry and rusty when I got the van.

The rear hub nuts dont need a grease cover. Remove most hubcaps/wheeltrims/whatever and you will find dry crusty nuts.
