Post by: joefrazer on September 03, 2013, 02:45:53 PM: Both Plymouth and Nash used caps that differed only in the center emblem (theirs were embossed) and in basket depth (the black back that bolts to the wheel). The plastic center emblem pictured can be affixed to the cap and the basket can be modified to work with a Darrin wheel. It is easier, however, if you have the Kaiser version but know that other makes used the same basic wire wheel cover.

Post by: Dragon on December 10, 2013, 06:17:50 PM: I sold one at the National without center for 110. I thought that was reasonable. Quality and quantity always make a difference.

Post by: pnw_oldmags on December 15, 2013, 07:33:31 PM: These wires caps appear to be 100327 missing the center spinners.
Accessory Bulletin 25-B states "may be attached to all 1951-1952 and '53 Kaiser and Henry J models and a majority of cars with 15" wheels."

(http://circlekf.com/kflit/PA/kfpa025b/kfpa025b002.jpg)
Part Number 100327 only shows up in two parts manuals - 54 Darrin and 1954 Kaiser.

If I buy these for my HJ and use small HJ caps instead of the Spinners would the KF Judges consider these correct and proper.

If I buy these for my Carolina and use small 53 Kaiser Caps instead of the spinners would the KF Judges consider these correct and proper.

Just asking??
