Title: I need a washer for the hubcap on my '77 .
Post by: Earle on May 26, 2013, 02:03:10 PM
Somewhere one hubcap washer has disappeared.  Is there one laying around loose at your shop?  Getting ready to go for the summer and hate to "three-wheel" it

Are you talking about for the aftermarket chrome wheel covers? If so you can probably find them at an RV or big truck supplier. As far as I know the Clippers didn't come with any covers stock. These guys can correct me if I am wrong. ;D But as far as I know the wheels that are on mine are what is stock:

Nah. It is the washer that holds the "cap" to the wheel.  The long bolt that extends from the lug nuts and is of the length that you need a "sunken" or depressed washer to allow the wheel cover to be attached.  Hey, I just realized that I should have called it a "wheel cover" earlier and perhaps reduced any confusion.  Thanks for the reply.    But, Do you have the washer?

Hi Earle,
Sounds like you may have Wheel Master covers
My old 1973 Tioga had a Cup style Washer that went on A All Threaded shaft that was Attached to lug nut, is that what yours has?
Ken is right Photo has a Thousand words

I have A 1977 Dodge Clipper, Just Don't Have Funds yet to Put SS Wheel Covers as yet.
My Dometic RM 66E Fridge Just Went out,

Will be Selling old on for parts at later date,
Has great Door,Knobs & Freezer Door& Gaskets.
