Well today I found a box at my door with a wheel nut in it! Thank you goes to Joel Jakel for reaching out to me a month ago to say he had one to sell. Excellent shape! Great threads ! Now to just get it chromed.
I believe he collects hubcaps and nuts like these.
I’ve in my engine (1928, 274ci) add about 2-3 thou to make room for expanding metal. So, .010 or ..011 is a good set. Ofcourse check later when hot for .008.
I will. I thought it looked like it could happen to work on it without removal but wanted to be sure! Last I ran it in June the antifreeze leaked out. Got busy with other projects and this got on the back burner since I couldn’t drive it.
I’ll try to link it Larry. Many different sellers have tin caps and has brass caps. Looked it over I don’t see one exactly like the one pictured. More 1920s style.
I’ll keep looking though
