Rudge Wheel Front brake drum/hub dust covers

[Eric Lenius]

Is anyone aware of a source for the front brake drum/hub stamped dust covers for Rudge wheels?

Thanks!

Eric, do you have a picture of what they look like and how they fit the hub?

I'll take a picture. They could best be described as innies instead of outies.

Here is a picture of the dust cap for the passenger side.

I have reached out to Martin and to German Rudge Wheels. Any other suggestions?

[Eric Lenius]

Still wondering about finding a front dust cap.

[Eric Lenius]

So far, no source. Any other Rudge experts out there know how to find these?

Thanks Al! That is a great suggestion. I had not thought of asking David.

Eric, depends a bit on the gage of metal but would it not be possible to stamp some? Other options is to machine some form a billet

Eric,
Did you ever find a source for these? We played with my car yesterday and got the speedo working with the wrong dust cover, but it's probably temporary.

[Eric Lenius]

Have not as of yet.

[Adam Wright]

Have not as of yet.

Can you post a list of who you've talked to, so I don't duplicate it.

Is there any chance a freeze plug could be used after drilling and filing the center hole? If not it’d be a simple project on a lathe to make one.
