  • Lost a hubcap today

    Posted by Bill on July 6, 2013 at 8:20 pm

    Guys,

    Somewhere between DC and Philly I lost the hubcap on my drive axel…. I had jsut checked all three bolts for tightness the stop before last…. I guess I should have checked again before leaving DC… I checked the other side and it’s down a bolt and the other two are loose…

    Is this a Marathon part or a prevost part or something I can get from a third party… Is loc tight recommended for this application? My guess this isn’t going to be a cheap part


    Thanks

    Bill

    bill, I had the same problem and was tired of the time Prevost spent tring to line up all the holes ever time I had it serviced which by the way is every three months. With tha being said I replaced all my wheel covers with Kane wheel covers. I’m sure you would love them and they are so simple and look great. I check tomorrow at the ranch what I did with the ones I took off. If there still around ill ship it to you but give me till tomorrow or give me a call Monday

    Millennium put’s Kane’s covers on all there conversion’s or better yet just go to there web page. You’ll be shock at what Marathon gets for them covers.

    Sid,

    Thanks for the input… yeah I would be opened to the Kanes… are they universal and how do they mount? The Tire guys I hav used said these were a pain…. took almost an hour to remove/re-install one… so if I am going to have to spend the money…. open to get something that will be less problems…

    I will try to give a call tomorrow.

    Thanks

    Bill

    Sid,

    Thanks for the tip on the Kane Covers…. I had them installed today and they worked and look great. Way better design than what was on it…. So if anyone with my vintage marathon is interested in some spare cover parts let me know…

    Hi Bill, I’m glad that you like them and that it worked out for you. I know when I had my bus serviced at Prevost in Mira Loma the other day they techs said how easy it was to take off and put back on. With the shop rate @ $110 per hour your sure don’t want to spend 2 hours messing with the old style and lining up the holes to get the caps on.
