Part Identification

I was wondering if anyone would know what these are? They were in a misc parts box I have. Thanks for your help!

Re: Part Identification

Thanks Rob, I looked at my wheels and can't tell where on the wheel it goes. But I didn't have my glasses on!

Dale, when you attach the non-existent, made, of unobtanium, hubcaps you utilize a short screw threw the cap into the crown of that bolt.

Re: Part Identification

Ok...I see! Glasses are on! I have Firestone wheels and they have regular nuts on them.

Re: Part Identification

Thanks Marty. What do you think would be a "fair" price for the six of them?

Re: Part Identification

The nuts aren't all that difficult to find, it is the hubcaps that are difficult to find. Someone else should be able to chime in here on the nuts.

Re: Part Identification

From your description of the hubcaps I gathered they might be hard to come by! I might throw the nuts on ebay to see if there is any interest. Thanks Marty!

Re: Part Identification

These are the hubcaps to which Marty refers, and the screws which hold them on to the nuts in your photo.

The reason for the deep castellation in the nuts is so that they can be split-pinned to secure the wheel halves, still leaving enough thread inside the castellations to take the hubcap & screws.

To bad my misc. parts box didn't have the hubcaps in it! Thanks for the pic Rob!

Put them on ebay and let the market settle it. Put the start price at the price that would make you happy if that's all that you got.

I think I will call the bank in the morning and see what the pay off is on the mortgage. If I got enough to pay that off, that would make me very happy! lol!

LOL

yes I think that amount would suffice!

Dale one time I put a part on that I thought was useless before I scrapped it for about $5 or $10 starting and it turned out to be rare and sold for around $230!

These nuts will not do that, they are still fairly easy to come by. However if you had the original hubcaps, that might be a different story.

Re: Part Identification

To be honest I'm just wanting to get a fair price for them. I have not found where they have been for sale or sold.
