I have some used ZR1s and the center caps fit, just not very tight and I dont want to lose them going down the road. FWIW they're not the kind with the retainer ring, just the plastic tabs around the perimeter and over time, they've become loose.
I'm thinking a drop or two of silicone may work unless anyone has a better suggestion?
TIA

I used a rubber hose about 1" outside diameter. Cut it into halfs, thirds or quarters and see if you can shove those between the clips and the outer edge of each cap. If you want post a pic of what your workin with and ill draw it out. The wheels I modded are long gone
