Technical Front wheel Grease cup advice

New to model A's and bought 1930 grease cups clear the axel nut ok, but the hubcap won't clear.

Then found out my wheels are 16" 1932s.

Looks like I can't trim enough off the grease cap and still install into the axel.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks .

Well, you are even more mixed up, as '32 wheels were not 16". But I've seem MANY Model A's with later Ford wire wheels (from '32 through '35) bolted on, so I guess you should look for some original grease caps. Maybe the repro caps are too big?

 

All the wheels from 28-35 will fit on the longer 28-36 spindle with either mechanical or hydraulic brake setups. and HUBCAPS for those wheels.
28-29 wheels 21"
30-31 wheels 19"
32 wheels 18"
33-34 wheels 17"
35 wheels 16"
All the above are welded spoke wheels.

 

Just a brain malfunction, knew they were 35's.

My measurements indicate either the hubcap is too shallow or the grease cap too tall.

I will try to find a vendor and get measurements of both for a 35 wheel.
Not sure how to factor in the axel differences..

Thanks

 

Decided to not use the grease cups as apparently Ford didn't.
