If you can't make it better why waste your time. No use repeating the orignal mistakes. I'm to old to push it that's why.

You have to tighten the screws buddy... LOL
Actually... The few times I had Delilah out on the open-road the cap-screws would loosen up. So I had the screw-holes re-tapped and used larger/longer screws. Just a thought.

I think Crist has the actual culprit identified. I've lost several but never had any stolen.

Long ago when I was running those style I was about to drill through the rim , C-bore the backside and put nyloc nuts on the back side. Then I figured someone would just smash the hub off and I changed rims anyway.
Just a thought you may want to look into.
I have a couple of those snake eye bits myself.
