The big end is a perfect fit on the outside flange.

And the small end matches the internal flanges.

With just a bit of filing and sanding, it fits into the wheel center opening.

First center cap installed--no marks on the cap.

But then a small problem: I could not get the front left wheel to seat on the disk hub.

Turns out the center cap ID is not big enough to clear the ears on the hub dust cap. And the cap on the left has bigger ears than the dust cap on the right (where the center cap clears fine).

I dug out my angle grinder and took just a skim off the ears.

OK, with the brake pedal firm, and the wheels back on (and torqued), there is no reason not to try driving the car. Not a test drive on the road yet, but...

I went up and down the hill twice, anreven got into second gear. Seems to run pretty good, but not much bite in the brake pads yet.

This is by far my favorite active thread - tons of great info here. Care to share size details on the PVC reducer "tool"?

Thanks.

I got lucky and had a short piece of 2" Schedule 40 PVC conduit. The fat end is where each length of conduit inserts into the next.

If I want to drive this thing on the road I have to register it. So I stopped by my county assessor office and paid the fees (including a "late fee" for not registering it when I bought it) and got standard plates. At least the number ends in 4.

In Colorado, I can also get original "year of manufacture" plates, for me 1973, and have them officially assigned to the car.

To mount the plates, I will have to shorten some M4.8 screws so that do not scratch the bumper. And perhaps some sort of security screw.

Yep, Colorado sure knows how to bleed you for extra money....Late fees for a car you weren't driving ......

Yeah, they claim car fees are not a property tax, but they charge us an amount based on the assessed value, and apply the fees whether the car is used on the road or not.
