Re: [VAL] hub caps
Hi Chuck:
Here's some hubcap information from R.J. Dial's FAQ pages on his
www.vintageairstream.com web site:
Q: My Airstream doesn't have any hubcaps. Where can I get some?
A: Depends on your year trailer. If it still had the split-rims wheels,
the moon style hubcap has spring-clip that slipped inside the wheel
center - these are no longer available and are hard to find. If you have
conventional wheels, the style up to 1971 was a baby moon style of
hubcap. 15" wheels use a 10 1/4" ID and 14" wheels use a 9 1/8" ID
style. You can find them at any utility trailer dealer or on eBay. The
later style hubcaps show up on eBay all the time.
I hope you can Wrangle another trip to Colorado Springs this Summer.
We'd love to hear you sign again and have the opportunity to admire
your new hub caps. :)
Best regards,
Fred Coldwell
