old school trailer hub caps

[msmeads1]

anyone know where you can get the old style hub caps with the hole in the middle for the buddy bearings?
These caps where very popular with the early flat bottom trailers?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

Meads, I did a search online and used Hubcaps and boat trailer for key words. Lots of possibilities.

There are ones that snap inside the inner portion of the wheel, and then there are those that snap over the outside of the inner part of the wheel. I have 3 of the larger ones and am kinda looking for a 4th, kinda........MP

I ain't got a clue, they were on there when I got the boat, chrome wheels and all!.. Are you just curious or you looking to pick up a set????..

I've been searching high and low for these with no luck at all. If you find a source, make sure you post it here. I'll bet there's a lot of guys that would run them it there was a source for them. They might be somewhat easy to make, that's my next step. Just need to make a die to put a nice rolled edge on the hole and preferably start with a stainless set of baby moons. Of course, the stainless moons are the other thing I'm having a hard time finding. :rolleyes:
I think they look pretty sweet, all 70's 'n shit. :boxed:

[GofastRacer]

Don't really care for those never did, probably be changing them out for different rims!..

[dossangers]

How about JC whitney they seem to have everything ??

That's a good idea? JC Whitney has S/S caps. Thanks to Wayne for the heads up on that?

Check truck stops I have seen similar ones at a Pilot stop. You may be able to make them work.
