Re: Wanted, Shinn wheel parts,

Last I knew Skybound had those. They are 3 long nuts and 2 small screws.

Did you check with Skybound?

Re: Wanted, Shinn wheel parts,

There are 2 types of hubcaps. One that has a single screw in the middle, and this one uses the tripod. The second uses 3 screws and has special long nuts for the bolts, the outside end is squeezed down for the screws. I'm not sure where my pattern is, but here is a picture for the spider. I'm sorry that the scale is not right, but it will at least give you an idea. The 3 screws that hold it on were #4 IIRC. The center screw was 1/4" I don't remember the thread size. It will need to stand tall enough to clear the axle, but short enough to hold the hubcap against the wheel.

Thanks Tom.

I did not know that.

Re: Wanted, Shinn wheel parts,

I think the reason for the switch to 3 screws was the fact that they were losing hubcaps with 1 screw. The single screw hubcaps are harder to find, especially if they are in good shape. 20 years ago I found a NOS set that had quite a bit of surface corrosion. I was able to clean them up and paint them, and they still looked good.

SkyBound, doesn't have the tripods, they do have screws, but need the size, to get them in stainless steel. Thank you

Re: Wanted, Shinn wheel parts,

Does your hubcaps have 1 or 3 holes?
