dog dish on rallies

[hammersmith]

Thought I would share how I run dog dish caps on rally rims. I know some might frown on drilling a hole in the middle of oem caps but these were pretty rough when I found them. Had them media blasted and painted dents and all. I then hand painted the black and blue which came out not bad from a distance. I found the center on the back side by xing the bowtie then drilled 1/8 hole. I used old rear axle rallie caps I had around and ripped off the 4x4 tin emblem exposing the hole in the center. I JB welded a small nut to a washer and then JB welded that to the back side of the cap. I was careful to get everything centered. I then used RV silicone to fasten 2 stacked mason jar lid gaskets on the face to take up any wobble. Once everything was dry I mounted cap on the way u normally would then i put more silicone on the out side of my gasket . I then used the smallest Robertson head nut I could find and screwed my dog dish to my center cap swishing the silicone. They are very secure with no wobble. I've had them on for two summers now with no problems. When I remove for what ever reason I just take out center screw and peel them off. Reapply silicone and touch up srew head with a dab of blue paint
