Call me crazy, but I am inquiring about knowledge of any wheel manufacturer producing a 15 inch replacement steely, (disc brake conversion) for early B's to accommodate the early Larger Poverty caps. Don't like being forced into aftermarket Mags or newer, smaller Dog dishes, that just don't finish the car off. Are there any Reasonable solutions, for **** Purists like me?
 
Negative on the above post. They don't make a wheel for the larger dog dish caps. Speedway Motors does. Dig a little deeper in the 62-65 thread. We covered it.

Now we're getting somewhere! That's what I am talking about! Thank You!
 
Epoxy a small, later hubcap into an earlier, bigger cap for wheels like the Wheel Vintiques.
 
I must say, that is quite an interesting solution. I'm not up for it though. I need to feel a tad more secure about it. Thank You
 
Glue??? Not for me. I have a real car, not a model.

I've driven the car well over 127mph, two race tracks and put 2500 miles on it without losing a cap. You realize they use epoxy to put body panels on some new vehicles, right?! :realcrazy:

I used PC-7 epoxy. It's the same thing Eastwood includes in their steering wheel restoration kits.

What width wheels are you looking for?

You're such a hillbilly. :D

When you want to take the caps off how do you get the screwdriver under the inner cap without scratching the wheel?
