ABSTRACT:
A sub-assembly consisting of a synthetic plastic hub cover, separate fastener members, and a gasket improves efficiency in the production line mounting of hub covers to vehicular wheel ends. In a preferred form, each sub-assembly incorporates a plurality of fasteners (i.e. mounting bolts), lock washers, and a gasket, all secured to a moldable cover. The cover includes a plurality of cylindrical mounting apertures, each aperture containing an integrally molded segmented, tapered flange of a predetermined thickness. In a preferred embodiment the segments are designed to elastically flex upon insertion of a fastener through the aperture for retaining the fastener within the aperture. The gasket is retained against the cover via shafts of the bolts.
