WTB '53 Henry J wheel covers
« on: March 09, 2019, 02:42:27 PM »
I'm looking for 2 wheel covers to match the 2 that I already have.
Fair to good condition would be just fine.

Hi Larry, just to be sure, are you aware that the '53 wheel covers are slightly different than the '51 wheel covers?  The '52/'53s have the valve stem hole above the 'K' and are domed a bit differently.  I'm still looking for 2 more for my '53 so they might get expensive!  I'm looking only for really nice ones though. I found one last spring that was almost perfect, just need two more.  If you're not looking for perfect ones, I'm sure you can find some.  I'll let you know if I come across any that I don't buy.

Thanks Fid,
Just looking for something to cover the wheels. The 2 that I already have are far from perfect.

Between E-Bay and a friend of a friend of a friend, I found the 2 wheel covers that I was looking for.
Thanks Fid for the info on the 12 o'clock valve stem position.

Steve Carey had a set of NOS wheel covers at the last National for $200.  I don't know if he still has them but he has lots of Henry J parts and will probably  be set up at Granbury.
