Title: Lug nut cover lost.
Post by: Mike Leary (RIP) on November 06, 2019, 06:48:46 pm
AZ highway 85 finally did it to me; lost two coming down. Cannot find any of this push-on type on-line, any clues who has them for the Alcoa wheels?  ^.^d

Mike, last time I was at a Pilot, they had singles and packs of these.  I want to say 22mm, but not sure.  Looked like they would work and these are push on's.  I have both on our rims, so I am sure either type would work for you, if the rim size is the same as on the Unicoach's!

 Just posted a pic above of my wheels and tires. Not sure about the size of yours.  I run 22.5 tires, you might be larger and the Alcoas too. :-\

Along the same line, do the aforementioned links also carry the hub caps? We almost always loose one off our rear drivers side tag wheel. Last time I was following and was able to make a U turn, pull over and pick it up. But I know that it will come off again, next trip out. Have tried silcone per suggestion from FOT. But it still come off. Thanks

Does anyone definitely know the size? I've seen 22 mm and several other sizes online, wasn't sure which one for the 320. I haven't lost any, but they are sure showing signs of wear, especially since polishing the Alcoa's.

Foretravel has these for about $2.00 each. I believe there are only two sizes. I put a small dab/dot of sealant on one spot inside the nut on one of the flats before pressing it on.

I will try to remember to bring some to Quartzite.. probably have dozen or more somewhere in the shop.. always kept my trucks chromed up pretty good then started hiring drivers 20 years ago and most of them won't take the time to go thru a truck wash where I had accounts..There are some people with driving and people skills that don't help with shine and appearance. 2 happiest days of my life were when I bought 20 rigs and then the day I sold them 3 years ago. I think those lug covers were a quarter when I started buying them..

Mike, any truck wash and wax operation will have them, the cheap ones start at less than a dollar. Most of the interstate truck stops have them in stock. If FT is selling them for $2 then there's a good chance you can find them for a dollar apiece.
