Geordieman, I used to be an Engineer once 🧐 never thought of that. Definitely if the weather holds I will give this a try as the Wheels are all clean. Thanks for the Tip that’s worth a try - Dave 😃

Geordieman, well I gave the idea a try, firstly used a junior hacksaw, knife and scalpel 2 slits and then finally 4 which gave more flexibility for the diameter to open up. I then gave the Snips a try and this proved easier and quicker. The biggest set back was the Chrome Plating which is just not the Best Quality and tended to flake off. When assembling the Cap the contact was basically point contact on the Round Lock Nut. It worked but for how long, my concern is if they will Fly Off and what happens in the Auto Wasch will the Water pressure dislodge them, we will see ! - Thanks for the idea again Dave 👍😁
