    Does anyone know if the 32-35 hub cap clips are available individually? I'll check on Drake's site as I have his 32 repo. caps & adapted them to wire wheels with a larger center by moving the clips from the inside to the outer perimeter to make up the gap but would like to ad (2) additional clips to keep them centered. As an alternative will rob some from damaged caps otherwise.

    I had an aluminum casting project a decade ago that needed those clips, but I couldn’t find them new individually. I doubt anyone would have started offering them in the time since. I would just buy beat up original caps on the dollar pile at swap meets.

    Thanks, not certain who is behind the repo hubcaps Drake & others offer, just thought the clips might be available, in the interim the spare tire cap works well with the repositioned clips but thought it wise to get them centered with added clips on the other four that will be running down the road.

    I believe both Drake and Vintique are made overseas.A few yrs ago when I bought a set of 33's from Drake one of the caps was missing 1 clip. They sent a replacement cap .

    I used metal strapping tape to make those clips, works good.
