Hub / Dust Cap

Recently changed the wheels on my bus to some porsche boxster alloys.
However on the fronts I have a problem that I can't fit the centre caps as the hub cap (the bit which the speedo cable comes through) is sticking out a little bit too much (say 5mm). Does anyone now if you can get or modify the hubcaps so that they sit in further.  Don't want to put spacers onto to resolve it really as the wheels sit nicely under the arches at the moment

I believe they can, only niggle might be the speedo cable, altough mine tends to sit too far in on it's own anyway.

How you getting on with your glass hunt?

May be worth trying to see how far the cable will push first. I rekon that it may be good to try and keep the hole for the speedo as concentric as poss. I would try to cut and shut the middle part of the cap by parting it off with a lathe.

Good luck!

Excellent, will try and get round to that at the weekend 

Hacksaw?

I took off a cap today to cut it down, but i don't think it would go back on
if i took off 1cm, are there different types?

Caps should fit right back on with 10mm removed, I hammered mine on good  Had to spot-face the back of the wheel centre cap to clear the speedo drive square end and then just stuck the centres into the wheels with silicone (had to remove the sprung "ears" for clearance.

Just to add to that, I've got concave ones on my wheels.  Drivers side fits fine as long as the caps on the wheel before you bolt it on like you say. Passenger side is slightly different as the speedo cable has actually pushed the centre of the cap out slightly, but if I didn't tell you, I doubt you'd ever notice!
