    1960 Caddy has a flat disc style which I haven't been able to find.
    What do you Caddy owners use to replace this type?
    THANKS------- TwoChops

    Two Chops I had some fun replacing the ones in my Caddy powered 41 Buick...........for sure they were the dished type and I used a ball peen hammer to wack them in the middle to spread them tight, then put epoxy over them. The Dorman bens used to have them by the doz........now I don't know??
    I considered using the the ones they use in boats, brass and two sides you tighten down with a pull stud in the middle, these are pretty common.
    I don't know if I helped but, its a start.

    Use the same type. To remove them just whack a chisel through the middle and pry out, to install whack the centeer with a ball peen as barry said. You can get them from napa. Coat the edges of the holes and plug with Indian Head before you install.
