Front Hub Grease Caps
OG69Z:
On the former State's A/S 68 Z/28, the front hubs were equipped with these grease caps:
They appear to function as a means to form a continuous conductor between the hub and spindle. I seem to recall some sales hype about static electricity back in the late 60's, early 70's. Maybe I'm on the wrong track here, but what is the point of using these? The car was set up very professionally for a privateer, and even had bearing spacers in the front. For this reason, I'm hesitant to discount their usefulness. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Robert

Radio noise suppression.

That's correct, and these appear to be replacements. The original GM caps have a raised bump in the center that these are lacking.
OG69Z:
Thanks Steve and Jon. One more piece of the puzzle solved!

You're welcome, Robert. That Tom States car looks pretty immaculate.
