Restoring
Dualmatic Hubs
The original Dualmatic hubs seem to be the coolest hub you can put on a Jeep.
Through fellow Jeeper Steve Bovee and further research, it was determined that
early Dualmatic hubs were painted a dark metallic blue. Steve was nice
enough to provide me a scan of his original label for me to copy. Through
the use of Photoshop and a local printer, I was able to closely duplicate the
original label. I have a limited quantity of these labels left, so if you
need some, please email me.
Here is what
most Dualmatics look like. The paint is long gone and the labels fell
off. |
The hubs are
a very simple design. They were taken apart, cleaned, and prepped for
paint. |
Here is a
scan of the original label. |
And a
photo of a painted hub. |
This is what
the new labels look like. |
The color I
found that closely matched was Rustoleum Metallic Cobalt Blue. With
new hardware and the label applied, the hubs look brand new! |
