Many thanks to Rich at Wheelbuilder for digging up and selling me (2) non drive side covers for my 50mm deep wheels. And thanks to folks here for all the information.
FYI , there is a dish difference of aprox .25" / side between the front wheel and the rear wheel due to the Front hub being narrower. The hole in the cover is also quite a bit larger than the front hub diameter.
To make everything sit well without the cover warping or shifting I drew up an adapter and printed a couple.
The adapter is tapered on the ID to match the 3deg taper on the OD of my hubs. This provides a nice press fit so it wont shift or rattle. There is also a flange on the back side so I could glue it to the inside of the cover. Keeps it secure and nice and clean on the outside.
Storming today so I'll test tomorrow.
