dbtravis Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I am looking for the center metal dished piece that goes between the wheel and hubcap on a 1925 Flint H-40 The wheel is a 4 lug, 20in disc wheel. I believe might be made by Hayes, possible a Hayes 300, but I’m not totally positive on that. The current place where the car is parked made it a bit challenging to take an exact measurement of this piece; but as best as I could, the hole where the hubcap meets it is roughly 3.5 inches and the wide flange against the wheel looks to be around 7.5 inches, in case that helps. If a more exact measurement is needed let me know and I’ll get one. The piece that I’m searching for is what’s painted red in the photos. What is this piece called? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Is the red one currently on your car? If you have one to use as a pattern, I would see if one of the guy's who do spinning's, (Rick Britten) could make you a full set of new brass ones, then nickle plate them to match your hubcaps. Of course, that is my two cents thought. Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtravis Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks Al, I'll look up Rick Britten and inquire. I actually have three on the car (including the red one)... I am only missing one. I like the idea about nickle plating them, that would look fantastic! Any idea if these have a name? I just call them "center dish thing"! If I knew what their technical term was, it may make searching for them easier... if having a set spun doesn't come together. Thanks!! - Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 They might be called a disc wheel center trim. Packard used something similar as well as Nash. I think they are an elegant way to beautify disc wheels. I have a Dodge with disc wheels that I may build some custom covers like you have.

Steen Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Hi, I have one of these, for my Flint E55 1925, but it looks the same I think, but I am in Denmark, so sending it to you might be an issue.... Br Steen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtravis Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 Missed this when you posted it. What size are your wheels? I’ll send you a private message to see if you might still have the center dish part! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
