Meebo,
Can you put up some pics of how this went together? It sounds good but I can't picture it yet. Thanks!

On the other end I removed the felt pad and made a hole for an M6 10mm stainless steel bolt to poke outward. The rubber cup is held onto the lugnut with a gear clamp/ hose clamp/ circular clamp, whatever you want to call it. The aluminum pan has 4 holes for the bolts to pass through and is held on with a stainless steel washer and lock nut. You just need to pick a bolt length that will clear the rim so it will fit and look nice.
I've had them on for about 3000 km through winter and rough roads and the highway. No problems except a little bit of rust on the bolt I rubbed off with a brass brush.
