Ed no I did not source the studs. Was just curious about what they looked like. I don't have the car to mount them on lol. Working on that.
I saw this NOS 63 RPO N9 cast cap and had to add it to the cave collection.
Still, haven't had anyone answer the question as to how to properly remove the center cap on the N9s (cast) to get at the lug nuts on the roadside. Did the 63/64s have a special tool for removal to not damage the cast? It's a delicate surface and not enough of a gap to get a sharp screwdriver in there.
I collect unique NOS and near NOS caps. Anything from the mid-60s to early 70s with the heavy cast center sections.
I have 16 V4/SD/P02s. 5 PO2s are NOS. Those are going on my 68 Vette. I have a really nice 66 2 bar V4/SD. The 2 bar piece is NOS on a nice cap.
I restore the turbine finned V4/SD/P02s. I can pull small dents out of the stainless ring. Kill the rust on the backer ring, I can clean up the cast fins nicely(starting with a nice example). I've figured out the right sheen on the black paint. The Riv center medallions are hard to find in nice shape. The chrome bezel is reproduced. The round one. The 2 bar is not, The 2 bar medallion is very hard to find. Corvette bezels and medallions are reproduced. I'm trying to get Trim Parts to sell just the bezels. Currently, they will not. The whole assembly with the Vette cross flags is $80. The medallions can be removed and swapped with Rivieras.
I saw the NOS 63 RPO N9 cast cap on eBay and had to have it. My wife wasn't happy about spending 300 on a hubcap...oh wait I don't have a wife...lucky me I can spend all I want.
I'm zeroing in on a 66 GS before my time on this spinning ball of dirt ends. Garage space first.
