I think that is what happened here as well as I'm sure I didn't put them on that way.
If you wouldn't mind I would like to know what others have done to "stem" the problem
In the mean time, Pat, I'll make checking the wheel covers to see if any have "walked" part of my pre-drive inspection. When I saw what happened, I'd say that being simply stranded was better than the image that flashed through my mind. Neither are a way that I'd want to end a drive.
Riki, where did you find brass stems?

G'day Jim,
One of the guys in our club, with a '52 200, had a continuing problem where the wheel covers "rotated" and cut into his valve stems. Maybe this is what happened to yours? For a number of years he drove without wheel covers, only putting them on for shows and display purposes. He did fix the problem, maybe it was metal stems, and I can ask him if you like?
