Here's a photo I found, of the wheel covers on the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome's Spiritreplica that recently took to the skies. I believe a flat ring of rubberis prepared with grommets, and then bonded to the sidewall of the tire. This,then creates a flange to attach the covering fabric to. I believe this is theway it was done on the original. Pretty neat.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/ssl_ ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: spoke wheel covers on Spirit of St' Louis

Uh... Need some details!Airplane or car engine?"Normal" engine or vintage, rare?Standard job or performance? Upgrades? Modernization like installing hardenedseats?Assume you mean something for a plane, so not talking pull and replace as wee arewe?I know you said complete, but we don't know what's worn. You may or may not evenneed valve guides replaced, refurbished.
