Pretty sure it was when they stopped making star covers, Dan!

Early stars shouldn't have one.

I see them on factory photos for 36/37. Gone in 38.

No, that is the Zerk hole for later hubs, he is talking about the slots for 45 rear wheel speedo drive units used in '35 and '36.

These holes which were originally used for the speedometer drove on RL models

I think I've got one somewhere, Chris!

(But so far, I only found a Servi tapered hub, if anybody needs one...)

Honestly, I thought the thrust collar wore through it.

(Made more sense than a speedo drive...)

No moving part inside the hub against that part of that cover....
