Wheels and wheel cover installation
The process of getting the wheels ready to go on the axle took several days and lots of mental planning. First the wheels were "trued" by adjusting the spokes. Then tubes and tires were installed and balanced. Lots of time was spent thinking how to mount the wheel covers. In the end the inboard covers and brake drum was mounted with bolts spacers and "thin" nylock nuts.
Studs were made with threaded rod, "thin" nylock nuts were again used on the inside of the hub and nutted on the outside of the hub along with a jam nut. Then the outside wheel cover was placed on over the studs and held with washers and nuts.
Completion day 5/2/18
