There is no glue on it. There are light indentations on one side that look like arrows point outward.

Almost final covers for R66. If Grandma is happy so is everyone. Also have a good cover for hot adjustment of valves.

These came from he hub covers on a 78 - 80s El Camino I think. The reproductions look real cheap. Any ideas?

With the new bushings, spacers, and exhaust hangers, I am hoping to have gained the clearance I need for RED NECK CRUISES thru the country. I may remove the spare and buy a can of Fix-a-Flat to remove the weight on the spring. Now back to the rear suspension alignment. Thanks for the input. Ron

I then turned my thoughts to the exhaust system. The driver’s side pipe had once again sagged down as a few had noted - thanks. Taking lessons lessons from Jim, I added BUBBA hangers at the elbow behind the rear spring. I didn’t want to drill or modify the frame or anything, so used HOARDED JUNK I had laying around to attach the hanger to the frame. I pulled the pipes to within 1/2” of the spring. If this works, I will probably buy the aftermarket hangers to make it look more PRO.

I ended up using a putty knife to keep the bolt head below the top inside of the trailing arm while I assembled things. Just a note for anyone thinking of adding spacers to the top of the bolt.

So, I got the new Willcox bushings in after a bit of a struggle. I added 1/4” washers top and bottom to give it a little lift and give a better fit on the 1/2” bolt. The washer on top required the new bushing to be compressed a bit to fit inside the trailing arm and allow the bolt to pivot to align with the hole in the spring.

After placing the new BUBBA grommet in place, I glued the second ring on the bottom. Although rather ugly yellow, they are much more durable and last longer than the cheap aftermarket grommets. A white pipe of the correct O.D. would be better, but yellow functions until I find the right stuff.

took a piece of 1/2 in. sch. 40 CPVC pipe and cut 2 pieces (nipples) 3/4” long. Then I cut 4 each 1/8” long rings from a 1/2” coupling. I used a miter saw, but your tool may be better. I glued one of the rings on the end of the short nipples and then beveled the inside to the pipe to aid guiding the pin thru the grommet.
