Thanks for the antenna info. That's an Arcosine-1.0, ha ha.

Neil, That looks good, I was thinking of something like that but haven't worked out how to fill the gap behind the tire without it catching the air. I have screwed in 1 1/2 inch black poly tubing around the opening which I formed into an arc in the oven using a bicycle rim. (pictures later). My current thoughts would extend the fixed part over the whole wheel well with circular slots cut 2/3 around and something elastic for tension, but maybe the top hinge is the way to go. I think that the Bonneville wheel covers won't attach to the aluminum wheels.

That's been my problem for years. I finally solved it here :

However, that thread is out of date. I have since simplified the parts and moved to alimuinum wheel covers. This pan has a slight gap, maybe < 1/2" :
I will publish a new thread with all the details.
