But not 3/8"?

Actually yes on the really early ones.....

Well, as I said these are reproductions - but yes, the correct answer wound up being 3/8" on the screw head hex size.

5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2. A little extra weight in your pocket, but saves you a trip.

Straight blade and Phillips screwdrivers. I have seen that type screw used also. Be well prepared.

Another good reason to bring them over loose.

Fred has a set of repro Magnum 500's (15" chrome, not the "trim ring" factory originals).
Does anyone know offhand what size the little center cap retainer bolts/screws are inside?
Going to the tire joint tomorrow and want to bring a socket with me.
Thanks!

I would imagine a tire shop having a few basic hand tools and sockets on hand. Wouldn't you agree?

I would agree that I've already gone - and I was determined they weren't going to be the ones fooling with
the center caps on the rims as it was.
Turns out, that was wise too.
