Expect it was the wrong bearing cap because the stock ones fit very tightly. Can’t help you on the cap size but the de Tomaso logo disk came with the wheels from Pantera East. The disk is held in place with a spring wire that fits in a groove in the wheel hub. You will most likely want to order a disk for all four wheels because the production runs are not all the same color blue. I know that because I had the early Pantera East Campy wheels and then upgraded to the newer Campy wheels. Pantera East (MAP Enterprises) can be contacted at 727-381-1151 As I recall the logos are not very expensive.

Dang, hope Bob doesn’t visit this forum anymore! But on the other hand the car went through some other owners after Bob. I guess one of the problems with Panteras is they sell too cheaply and because of that some owners don’t give them the respect and quality maintenance they deserve.

When I reflect back on the twelve years plus of wrenching on my car and how it was when I bought it and how it is now, it is in completely different league now. But it is a labor of love and a healthy respect for my own safety. You would think that most people driving around in a 39 year old super performance car would be intensely interested in their own safety!
