    How to secure the center caps on 15" euroweaves?

    To prevent the center caps from being nicked or falling off even.

    Has anyone tried using a dab of loctite?

    My caps are on pretty tight. Where would you use loctite? At one time I started a flat cap project and used 1 flush screw thru the cap. It did work well.

      My caps are pretty loose and could be removed with one hand twist.

        I can remove all of mine by hand so no need for tools. I have 3 sets of weaves and I might have used the tool maybe once. Normal? I dunno.

          do you have some broken/missing clips? they should stay in tight.

            No broken clips that I can tell, but they are all pretty loose, and not as tight as I'd like that makes it susceptible to someone just walking off with the center caps...

              They have worn tabs then, suggest you find some one selling some M3 centers for them they are the same.

                  BAV auto is about the cheapest source new for them I have seen. I think they were about 40 each, Howard when he did his touring told me he got some there at a great price.
