    I am in search of 1 (or more) of these (pictures) Halibrand Center caps. They are aluminum and thread on. From what I've learned they are specific these the 5 spoke wheels and they were only made a few years. I have been looking for about a year with on luck. If anyone knows of a non-Halibrand center cap that will thread on that would work as well.

    Any help is appreciated!!

    Note, I machined off that little lip and repolished the faces, never liked those plastic self stick emblems.

    Get or borrow a good set of calipers.

    Measure the outside diameter of the threads., and the distance between two adjacent threads.

    Post the results.

    With a Lathe can be duplicated,
    Also with thought threads can be added to aluminum centers, or other's .
    E/T wheels centers are aluminum,
    Cut ears off like @DDDenny did
