- I'd drill and tap the rims for some 10-32 screws to hold the disks on, like Harry Miller did in the 1920's on his INDY cars. Bob in connecticut

- I used to have 6 10-32 screws holding each disc on, and they were a real pain in the buttox. Pulling a disc for tech, or just checking tire pressure took way too long. Moon will loan you a template

- NASCAR boys have tried this in the wind tunnel. Not legal for them but they will experiment with anything. The feedback I got was that on a fendered car (NASCAR) it ain't worth a thing. On a Lakester

- Guess the aero improvement (if there is any) ain't significant compared to the lack of brake cooling. Cooling may be something else to consider when stopping from 200+ MPH on the Salt. JB -- Original
