Very nice! I wonder if low head cap screws would be even better than regular socket head cap screws. The head height on those is somewhere around 60% of the regular type, and the internal hex one size smaller (i.e. 5 mm for M8)
@Beags64you still making these?
Let me know when you are ready. I’ll take another 3 hole!
Will do
Either one should fit, your call. Got ya on the list
ohhhhhh, nice
I like the no bolt holes. I wonder if it's possible to make dowel pins to slide in the hub threaded holes. Machine threads in the back of the cover. Hell I've taken shoulder bolts and turned the heads down for locating pins, we use these for locating pins on our CNC machines at the shop. I'm thinking wouldn't the speedo or speedo eliminator spacer keep it from walking out after the axle is tightened? Just need three pins to keep it from spinning. If you would be interested, I'd buy two 3 holes and two no holes to play with.

you could use steel oxide M10 allen set screws in the hub - should provide enough ferrous material for a rare earth magnet press fit into the cover to pull on...
Like BASF. We don’t make the products you use....we make them better.....haha!
I had that same thought for mag rims. My '77 hub has the steel thread inserts so that's how that one came about.
Now if my round stock would somehow magically appear out of the blackhole that is the USPS system, last seen leaving Millstadt IL. on Dec. 23rd, I could get to making these things

The OD on the covers is just enough over 4" that I've been using 4-1/4". Trouble with square stock is the time it takes to turn it into round.
It's just the USPS and their "We're so busy..." whining, Gonna see where things stand in the next couple of days

I figured as much about square. Got all kinds of square scrap. I did find a few pieces of round scrap but they're 3 5/8 X 1/2 thick. I don't know what you do for a living or what region you live in. Where I'm at there's machining industry everywhere. Places like Omni Source pick up the scrap (end cut offs) Until recently I had a hookup at a steel distributer. My guy retired. Sucks, he ran a CNC plasma too.
