Hi,
Does anybody still make the hub locks like SJDave was making?
I reached out (PM) not sure of his status.

Too bad if no longer available. I had a set and loved them after dealing with spinning center hub.

Hi Elfrey,
Unfortunately , SJDave passed away earlier this year. Don’t think anyone has continued his design.

Here is another solution I'm going to try. Just some basic hardware needed.

Sad to read this, the parts worked great for me.

I used Michael Eversons method on my Coupe, it works great, and is a relatively cheap fix
I tried to recreate Dave's rings, but the weight of the ring in the wheel upset rotational things enough that the wheel was out of balance. I suppose I could always have the wheels re-balanced after installing them, but going the M.E.'s method just made more sense.
I need to find another vendor or different part number from MMCarr though, as they don't seem to be carrying this...... 99142A630

I am going to try Michael’s method as well, I was able to get both items from McMaster Carr
