It takes a lot of careful back-triming to make them lie flat.
To size/fit the skirts, first make a thin cardboard template to get the size and shape correct. You want an overlap of the plastic surround of about 1/2 inches. That will allow the skirt edge to lie in the small recess right at the edge of the surround. Then you can make the size/shape of the final skirt using the template. I don't think I posted pictures of the skirts, but may have.
You can make cheap wheel covers using pizza pans from Wal-Mart. I just pop rivited the pans to the center area of the stock plastic covers using 6 rivets in a circle. Carefully mark and drill 1/2 holes for the valve stems and buy the little 1 inch valve stem extensions to poke the stem through the hole.
No longer have the Echo, so can't post any pictures. Good luck  |
man, i wish you had pics of both the skirts and the covers!
