Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yep, exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks for the better image.They also say that this is a simulated bead lock.
Agreed.Ideally, you would want standoffs that sit against the rim, so they take the forces, not your bolts. You can use that coupler nut to extend the rim bolt to retain the rim protector. (Coupler nut indicated by thin orange square in this drawing.)

yep.... IMHO this is easiest design. In off road world this would be similar to what they call a "rock ring" they fell out of favor pretty quick though cause mud packed up inside them. Maybe why they saw little use in the FMTV's??
I've been told that mud was a huge pita with the wheel covers (but I've yet to get in anything but sand with them).yep.... IMHO this is easiest design.

2.5mm, which would be about 12gaCount me in for a set if you do @fuzzytoaster
I don’t remember where but I recall 18ga as the thickness, does that sound correct?
Too thick to be spun. These are stamped...I wonder if the originals are spin formed?
Had the opp to make a die to stamp these with yesterday... I may have another opportunity late this month or next it anyone can get me the above dimensions, that would be awesome.... thanks again guys...Too thick to be spun. These are stamped...
Sure, but as I said up thread...this is *not* enough info to do a die. You need several additional dimensions to make the cover.Had the opp to make a die to stamp these with yesterday...
