What that guy really needs is somebody with a fork and shovel to follow him around !! Gonna start callin him M-B-S. {I got a coffee cup with that on it } OK Hoopity, what I had to do. I used an old bandsaw blade {big thick one and ground it down to width}} and made my own. Takes a bit of T+E to get em right. Anything you can get your hands on that will retain some tension. Be sure to make them so it's tight gettin em on and off. You could also rob them off another old wheel ,easyer and faster if you can find the right ones.0

Be careful with the terminology on the internet. You could unwittingly stumble into areas that you don't want to go to. Avoid the words "stick" and "parts" at all times.:D0 -
"HUb Cap Retaining Clips" is the correct description in the parts book. They are listed, why don't you just pop along to your nearest Hudson dealer and buy a set?0

We have a lot of "those" here in Southern California, however most of the ones I notice are not from the OEM, but are after market items, but I occasionally see some really nice OEM's. In fact, there are some really nice ones next door to me that I have been trying to get my hands on for some time now! I guess it just isn't meant to be......0

Since you are in Southern California why not drop over and visit Bill Albright and pick up all you might need. I am sure that he would have a few available on wheels around his place? On my 52 stepdown I wanted to use the small caps (Preference?) so I picked up a set of MoPar 1950 wheels with the Hub Cap Retaining Clips (Thanks Geoff) in place. Not only do I have a wheel built for Steel Belted Radial Tires, They have the clips in place for the small caps to fit securely. What a deal?0

As I read this I had so many things I wanted to say, and I think that keeping my comments to myself shows the level of restraint I have.0

Thinking (as I seldom do) that there just might be something to the California thing I decided to look further into this. I googled "california tits:rolleyes:"
Gentlemen, I doudt that I shall ever be the same.:eek:.. I guess they don't have hubcaps in California? Cant inagine wasting them things trying to hold hubcaps.... we use clips here in the midwest..:)..0 -
Maybe I'll change that MBS To LHB---Leadman honeybucket brigade cause he aint the only one0

Alas, my good friend, this is where I achieved the title of "Hoopity". It is indeed an honor to be nominated as the LEADER of the honeybucket brigade. If appointed I promise to utalize evry available resource to ensure that we never run short of "Honey". Snow shovels, back whoes ( ha ha) and even a d9 or 2. Try to remember those famous words " A point in evry direction is as good as no point at all..."

Due to an abundance of expereince and dedication to the task, I hereby nominate HOOPITY for LEADER OF THE HONEYBUCKET BRIGADE , I'm sure he will not fail us. Anyone second the motion ?0

Gee I hate to be serious here.. LOL.. What late fifties Mopar wheel is rated for radials ? This may be the answer to a small problem I have with my 49. I have radials and disc brakes. The wheels flex on corners, causing a "rub" on the calipers. I have ground a great deal off the caliper to gain clearance, but the flexing of the weel is the culpret. There is better than 1/8 inch clearance sitting idle. I hear a "chuck chuck chuck" when cornering both left and right. Wheel bearings are properly adjusted...I want to maintain the stock appearance of the wheels and use the Hudson wheel covers. Perhaps the Mopar rim is a bit more rigid? Which ones?..:)0 -

I plan to run disc brakes on my '56 Dodge and a bunch of guys have done this on FL Mopars retaining stock rims with radials. Some have to go to a 15" rim instead of a 14" (not an issue for me, '56's came w/ 15" rims), but there seem to be no other issues with mopars. Not sure if this really helps or not.0 -
I'm afraid I find it hard to beleive that the wheel is flexing, I'm thinking you need to look a bit deeper into your problem.0
