    ...former owner said he could not keep the standard Hornet discs on the wheels, and lost many of them in the prairies of Ontario.



    Been there, done that ! Found a simple fix though.

    Harry,

    I put a 1/2" wide strip of Gorilla Tape (stronger than duct tape) around the inside of the wheel where the teeth/clips of the hub cap are supposed to bite into (you will be able to tell by where the marks are). Make sure the area is clean before you put the tape on. The teeth/clips will not bite into the metal on the wheel but they will bite into the tape. In 2,000 miles I haven't lost one yet.

    No Ken, this one was owned by an HET member who is thinning out his pack!
