Looking for 2 center caps

[waterlife]

Picked up rims with the center caps but 2 are missing the center "logo" Let me know if you have 2 for sale, here is picture

EDIT - incorrect statement: Those caps aren't correct for any 71-3 Mustang wheels.

Same type of cap with different sticker inset would be correct for 1973 Mustang.

You can buy the stickers to replace the logo. I've seen them online.

Here's a nice center cap for Magnum 500 (early 'shorter' style).

OK I am schooled once again. Just proves my knowledge of the 73's is still weak at best!



Waterlife your cap is indeed correct for the slotted mag wheels for Mercury models 73 and possibly 74 and a few years more.

Similar wheels installed on Mercury Bobcat, Cougar and others.

I may be showing my ignorance, but I believe that the only car Mercury used the slotted mag with the 5 lug nut design, key words "5 lug nut" was the 73-74 Comet. That being said, I would think that those center caps would be kind of rare. I would sell them on eBay and then buy new re-pops for your Mustang. If I'm wrong, I'm blaming it on the cough syrup I just took.....

Ray, those are the exact rims I just purchased with the black paint. Isnt the part# from a 1973? D3 is translated to 1973. Arent the center cap a ford logo?

The caps you show in the picture are off of a Mercury. Ford used them on the Mustang with the running pony and the Maverick with the long horns. Mercury used them with the center cap you have. And that is how we got to Mercury!!!

Had no idea, the guy I picked these up from was guessing Torino. When i think of Mercury, I always think of the guy on the old Dimes


Thanks all you your help!

Are these the cap I need? I think the seller has the ID wrong

Caps on e-bay


Are these what I am looking for?

Hello,

I have posted some information on the aluminum wheels before but will hit the high spots here.

I ordered them on my Mach 1 new so have them and a set off a Maverick that have the same center hole diameter. I also have a set of Mercury which has a larger center hole due to the fact that the centers on the axle and front hub were larger on the Mercury. I also have another set that did not have center caps and not sure what they came off but they have an even larger hole in the center. Wheels are designed for the center hole to carry the weight of the vehicle and the lug holes are just to make them go round and round and hold them on. Not saying you will ever have an issue with lugs breaking but the lug studs will be carrying the weight not the center of the wheel. Check the diameter of your axle and front hub and see if the wheels you have fit with little clearance. I would think that wheels for a Comet would have the same dia. as the Mustang but wheel for the larger Mercury will be larger.

The pictures of the 4 on eBay look like originals. The center color should be red. I have seen black ones for sale and do not think they every came from factory as black. If you ordered a Ford service part the center caps would only have 3 attaching screw holes instead of the 5. Use never seize or anti seize on the screws in the caps to keep them from locking up and breaking off when you remove them. Some tire shops have to remove the cap to replace the tires some do not.

The center plastic piece to my knowledge is not available by itself. I do not know how you could replace them they are staked into place by crimping a ring inside the Zinc cap against the plastic.

When the weather is good I will pull all the wheels out get the numbers off the take pictures of the wheels, caps and measure all the center holes for reference to all. These wheels are much stronger than aftermarkets that are just cast and just look right on a 73. Back in the 70's I bought the extras for $10.00 each with caps because people wanted a wider tire than the factory wheel would carry.

The TRX wheels went the same way in the 80's when the tires cost too much and eventually went out of production they were sold for scrap. you can get repo TRX tires but also expensive.

Beautiful day in the mountains going to be in 60's today.

Here's a 70 model Merc - see logo upper area above grill.



I really think the logo reflects the full-sized Mercury cars. Not exactly sure of years it was used. Definitely in the mid/late 50's thru mid 70's...
