Those with Coys

I know some people were having problems with dust caps being to large on the front of the truck when installing the Coy wheels.

What low profile caps were everyone using or were this not a problem anymore?

I rounded off the edge of the rotor and there is zero issue, It took me ten mins and only did it to play it safe as the cap was A
LMOST flush with the wheel and I wanted it flush completely.

Re: Those with Coys

I have an electronic file to get a set of 1/4" spacers cut for the caps so you dont have t ogrind the hub, all you need is someone with a laser or waterjet. the material is 1/4" thick aluminum. Let me know if you would like a copy. Either PM me or email me at:
fatboysrodshop@gmail.com


Thanks
DeWayne
