I have one '63 wire hubcap that has a emblem like the one pictured on the right. The spinner is held on with 3 screws. What I thought was odd is the spokes were aluminum not stainless.
I just changed the rubber line on my '63. I used a 1/4" drive ratchet and socket to loosen the clamp. You can loosen the screw on the clamp enough to get the hose out. Like Ed said, don't take the screw all the way out.
The gears are easy to change. Just make sure you test them before you put the door skin back on. I had to loosen the screws holding the case together because I had a little bind on the motor.
You can't swap left to right, right to left. The teeth are cut so when you are at the end of travel on the gear the vent window is in the closed position.
I use cotton balls soaked with pepermint oil to keep mice out of the car. In the spring the peppermint smell goes away. The mothball smell never goes away.
I was able to see This car at Overland Park. I could not stop looking at the great interior, if I did I would have noticed the bottom of the car is just as good.

After driving to ROA meet and back from Michigan, I would recomend a car with air and cruise control. The seats in my '63 were just fine. My right leg got tired and 90 + degress was a little warm.
Great article on your car Winston. I was able to see it at Overland at Overland Park. The car looks even better than the pictures. Met alot of great people. Saw alot of great cars.
