    swyto Got parts? Any bait?

    I have a brand new set of 71 center wheel caps (no ribs) I'm looking to trade for a set of new 70 center caps. Please let me know if you're interested. Thanks, Robert

    Do you still have the caps? Are they NOS?

    I think they are but not sure. How do you tell? I can check and get back w/you.

    Individual parts (chrome bezel, medallion, or retainer) could be purchased for the 1971-72 caps back in the 70s and 80s before they were only available as complete assemblies. When you look at an original cap from the back you'll see the plastic medallion. Also look to see if the cap is assembled with small screws or if it looks like it has been "riveted" (actually peened) together.
