I made a set for my baja's when I ran then. I just cut some aluminum tabs and bolted them to the wheels and then cut out lexan and dzus buttoned them in.

Do you care to post pics or send me some? I only need them for the front now

[XC_Racer_129]

I think I have some pictures. I'll look for them. I don't run the baja's anymore.

Ok pics would be highly appreciated! I am only runnin them on the front till I can get enough to buy hipers on the front too but one set put me in debt with dad till the grass starts growin:p

i bought some of the cheap mudcaps you can buy on ebay (they're actually just pipe caps that happen to fit) and they fit perfectly in my 8" rear baja's.. so for the $8 a pair they cost it might be worth giving it a shot for your wheels.

[rabbithuntr14]

Well I thought about that but since I got rear hipers I only need them for 10 inch fronts

I knew I had a picture somewhere!

I also put a piece of that pipe insulation foam inside the wheel so dirt can't get in through the holes. I'm not sure what size it was, but it wedged in the ring perfectly, just had to cut out a hole for the valve stem. I ran that setup for a long time and it worked awesome.

Thanks that helps alot! But how did you manage to get you're wheel on and tight when the mud capOn and tight? I'm gon a go get supplies in the next day or two and I'm not to sure how to get the montserrat to stay on there

Haha, that picture was when I just had them sitting in the wheel before I fastened them. I used self tapping screws to put the covers on and off or you can buy some dzus buttons. They would probably work better.

Similar to XC_Racer_129; I cut a circle out of lexan but I drilled and tapped the baja ring. Some button head screws fastened the lexan and then provided access when removed.
