Rolf Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Just wanted to remind any of you with hubcap problems, V-12 Bill kindly launched me on this new career some years ago, and I now have a few solutions, including '36-'48 L and LZ caps, still not as good at doing them as I want them to be, but on a pretty decent cap I can make them look pretty nice, I have some almost show quality '41's, '46's and '48s, and a smattering of the other years, let me know if I can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abelincoln Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I think my hubcaps are OK, but does anyone reproduce the "Lincoln" script for 48? New clips that rivet on the wheel would be nice too.Abe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herrel Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I have the Lincoln scripts reproduced in laser cut brass, polished $75 ea. They are excellent, and have the pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi Abe, those spring clips that hold the hub caps on were also used on Early Fords and trucks, a truck supply might be able to furnish some that could be riveted on, Narragansett in RI advertises those front wheel late '47-'48 hubcap scripts for $10 each, of course you dont need scripts on the rear because of the skirts, so the rear hubcaps are plain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_V12Bill Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 The hubcap scripts advrtised by Naraganst are the raw castings and need to be plated. The plating cost is $80 or $90 extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1941 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Rolf - You don't happen to have a '41 Connie spare tire cap?> Mine is MINT, but post-War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hard to believe they would be getting $80/$90 for that faux gold plating, on anything but a 100 point show car, a quick shot with a gold spray bomb should make them fine, all Connie spare tire caps are at a premium, I would hold out for a trade myself, the Mac drag links are probally the same as the Kanter's, but I would be tempted to go for a repaired original myself, as foreign made replacements are of questionable quality, just heard from my neighbors about my hubcap restorations, they are no where near as enthused about them as I am due to the noise, so it looks like the end of another era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
