So late last night - I started some of the final assembly on the center caps. Realizing that once you start to tighten down the three screws on the backing plate, the red medallion tightens up as designed, but with the desire to clock the PMD logo in a certain orientation within the spinner, I devised a simple, yet effective way to rotate the jewel with no fuss. I've acquired a suction cup device from a lighting store that's used to replace halogen bulbs. This way you avoid having to use screw drivers or a pick to muster the thing into place and assemble at the same time. It would be somewhat frustrating for sure without it. With the neoprene rubber spacing block in the back, it acts like the Rally II metal mount but far better because not only will it hold the medallion in place, it prevents rattling and vibration.
