Hello -

Thar she blows! I found the plastic tray website :

polarplastic.ca :: Rigid Trays

This is the exact tray I got :

CATERLINE - 16" Round platter

Polar Code:     A716PBL25 
Colour:         Black 
Case Pack:      25 
UPC:            NA 
SCC:            0073773425031 8 
Length:         415.9  mm
Width:          415.9  mm
Height:         108.0  mm
Cube:           0.0187  m3
Weight:         6.805  kg
Mfg Ref. Code:  383171 
Material:       Polystyrene 

So now I know it's made of polystyrene.

Ha ha, you can even get it in Eco-Green :



But this doesn't directly help us because it's not a site that sells individual trays. It's just the origin of the tray.

ew... polystyrene.

So why not find a nut that fits inside the hex on the plastic cap snugly, and use whatever size threads that nut would have? I'm really thinking that a carriage bolt with a slot cut in the head would make a great pan screw here...

Yup, another good idea. I am not portraying the plastic lug nut correctly. Inside the plastic lug nut, it's not a hex-shaped volume, it's a cylinder-shaped volume. I will take one off my other wheel and take inside/outside pix of it.

I think all these ideas can solve the problem. At this point at least it's a small (3/8") problem, .

Oh - I remember them. I forgot they were like that on the inside. Wife's car had 'em, too.

Well, you've got 100 ideas to "fix" it, though... should be good to go, right? :P

Oh, but that's cheating! I made sure that the wrench logo was painted onto the hubcap that Carlos made in his other thread about wheel covers, where he used "Bicycler DIY" to create a somewhat convex cap, which would clear his center caps without modifying the wheel!

HA! :P

Yours probably took less time, though.
