Hi Folks,
This one's no big deal really, as this topic won't hold great interest to most Forum members. However -----------------------
Some members would be aware that i recently posted a thread on my newly purchased US Indy mag wheels for my '73 Mach 1. Although they look super dooper, something was missing for that finishing touch! Ahh yes, the old Mustang Logo. I did some investigating, and discovered that you can buy some nice center caps with the Mustang logo already on them.(C J Pony) Trouble is, they're expensive, and these center caps are a different size to the US Indy caps, and therefore would require drilling of new holes to attach them on the wheels. Darn it, i didn't want to deface the new mags. What to do.
By sheer chance, i stumbled upon these fantastic Scott Drake 67/68 dashboard emblems that are a perfect fit to go onto the US Indy center cap faces. They come with their own double sided tape on the back, so all you do is peel, place, and stick them on. They look fantastic, and i reckon they just finished the wheels off nicely. They are 36mm wide in diameter or 1.41732 inches.
I also decided to post this up because a Forum member was asking me about center caps and Mustang logos when i posted my mag wheel thread up recently. So if anyone decides to buy the US mags in the future, this is a great way to solve a problem and end up with a good result. BTW - THEY'RE NOT CHEAP, AT $24.00 per emblem. See my pics -
Many thanks,
Greg.
