    Hi all, I've got a set of 16" early full wheel covers here, with the white painted outer section, they mount to an early ford wire or solid using a ring with spring clips as shown.. The problem is I only have 3 rings.. So if I can identify it might make the hunt for a fourth ring easier . Anyone have a spare ring or know what to look for??

    Geez with your abilities, you should be able to make that part in no time.

    The spring steel clips, maybe make from sawsall blades? Those blades can be bent usually, without breaking, and without anealing/retempering.

    I might have mis understood; you are missing just the snap ring, or the whole white part?
