Hi Guys
 
Thanks so much for all the help with the hubcap. After enjoying an awesome day at Brent’s foundry, I took the suggestion to machine the thing rather than try and cast it.
Brent’s brother made the suggestion to turn the thread in reverse. That worked out great. Putting it on the buffer afterwards made it look a lot more like the casting as well.
