Brembo hub dust/grease cover

I know some others have had trouble with wheel center caps because of the Brembo dust caps sticking out so far. I've heard some are just hammering them in the needed 1/4 inch for clearance. Has anyone looked for a dust cap that would offer a little more clearance. I really want to use the flush center caps on the wheels. Just don't want to do the search if someone has a part number. If not, I'll post my results for others but I plan on taking one off and heading to the auto parts stores in the next day or so.

How did this turn out?

Mostly everyone has just love taped them in.

Love "taping" is probably illegal. :headbonk:
Love "tapping" is okay.

Running without. No problems. Not a daily though.

Did it look like this...?

Hammered mine, easy-peasy. Though they aren't the prettiest when I run wheels without a center cap. But if you plan to have a center cap on 95% of the time, why wouldn't you just hammer them in?:shrug:

How much additional clearance did you get? Or better yet, what are your wheel sizes?

Bump! I was considering just removing it but if you can hammer it in I’ll do that first. The rear doesn’t have a dust cover why is there one on the front?

Bringing this back from the virtual grave-- I just noticed my front wheels don't even have the dust/grease caps on the hubs. Anybody else not have them? I ordered some today but was just wondering...

That's weird. I had mine when I took a look. Sure enough I hammered them in to get some clearance. Worked like a charm
