[Fot] front hub bearing dust cap

[Richard Good]

Charly,

The lip of the cover that goes into the hub is on a taper so there is not 
much to hold the cover in place.  I was not able to find a cover that I 
liked better so I made up some dies to re-shape the lip.  I have been 
supplying the modified covers with the alloy hubs for some time now and they 
seem to be working out much better.  A little harder to get started but they 
stay on better.  I include a short piece of aluminum tubing that rests on 
the flange to tap them in place without denting them.  I can supply the 
modified covers to anyone who is having trouble keeping covers on
