Wheel discs
The following information is not applicable to
Corniche cars.
Two types of wheel discs may be fitted, either
the ventilated type or the non-ventilated type. Both
types of discs are secured to the wheel by a steel
claw ring. The claw ring engages with three equally
spaced protrusions on the wheel.
On non-ventilated type wheel discs that do not
incorporate locating lugs it is possible that road
vibrations may cause a rattle. This is due to the
disc not being a secure fit over the wheel
protrusions. If a rattle occurs the radius of the claw
ring can be reduced to ensure a tight fit on the
wheel by carrying out the following procedure.
