Wheels / Tires: Stude dog dish on brand X wheels

[Flashback]

Sometime back someone asked about how the dog dish caps were attached on the Saturday night special. Here's one method. Get the right circle and spacing from Stude wheel, then drill 4 overlapping holes with a 1/4" drill bit, gettin the length of the slot right. A little filing and you got it.



Here's another shot.




I have used another method, that I will post when I have a front wheel off, later

Clean and neat work! I am just a klutz at drilling holes.

What are the clips used. Are they available from Studebaker International or other vendor? If you can show it, what is your other method.

Thanks

Yes, Norm; those clips are available from Studebaker International.

Part #526646: $2.95 each.

Or order #526646X12 and get 12 of them for$29.95. BP

Hey Norm, The clips used are standard Studebaker Part # 526646. They fit 47-55 car and I think 41-early sixties truck. Used ones are better than new if possible. I will try and post the other method soon.

What brand are those 'Brand X" wheels?
