wheel disc
« on: March 05, 2021, 09:51:23 AM »
I just bought a aluminum wheel disc for my front wheels and was wondering what was the best way to mount it. There are 3 small clips with it, do they get riveted on on what is the proper way?

Mine was fastened in 3 places, equally spaced.  An stainless steel strap about 1/4" wide, maybe 3/4" long and 1/16" thick went around a spoke and was riveted to the disc using 2 rivets.  I took it off many years ago because I thought it looked better without.  I think the staging beam heights are pretty stand now so you probably don't need it as far as function is concerned.  I was at a car show once and a guy wanted to know why I only had a hubcap on one side!

We have wire wheels and used tie wraps to hold nylon disc in place

I sell wheel disks with alum straps for ataching around the spokes with either pop rivits or small bolt and nylock. We have raced without a staging disk of 10 years , but then again I built some 18" wire spoke wheels with 2.00x18 MC road race tires with a Akront rim that has a bit of a lip on the rim, so we never redlighted UNTIL we raced Phoenix for the 1'st time . Turns out they set their staging beams a little higher, enough so the JF cars with litle disks didn't redlite, but all the cars without staging disks did redlite, so since then we run a black light disk.
Good luck
