Things like this are really cool, I love it when members work together, and those Moons look fantastic!

I am not sure anyone should care; "they" also say not to use a sledge hammer to repair a bent rim.
Guilty of both

Just an update. I bought a tube of black silicone caulk and put some on each cap to keep them from moving.

I just priced checked around my area for the parts to do this and some were pretty expensive. I found a place that sells the clips for 4 bucks a set. Where did you buy your baby moons?
