Title: how to assemble bbs rs centre caps
Post by: lewis1641 on 09 April 2011, 14:12
recently takent he plunge and bought a set of bbs rs centre caps and they arrived in component form. you get an aluminium nut, plastic threaded section which clips into the back of the nut, a split washer, aluminium plate and a badge.

I coulodnt get the plastic to clip into the aluminium and had no idea where the split washer went so i called PW Motorsport who supplied the goodies.  The split washer goes between the nut and the plate apparenty and the plastic part is supposed to be a pig to get in. they recommended a press.

I greased the plastic part

then lined everything up and held the 2 parts in a clamp, protected by wood.

it was nigh on impossible to get it to go in straight so i put a bit of presure in one area, released the clamp then did it again in another area untill it popped in firmly.

job done
