New hub caps & headlight rims for 1935, 14?

Post by Arewethereyet » Sun Feb 07, 2016 8:30 am

Would anybody know if anyone's producing headlight rims and hub caps for my '35 P1 14? All the chrome's gone but the brass still polishes up well.
Re- chroming is an option but I'd like to see how much for NOS or remanufactured before committing?
Regards,
Mark

I've had the hub caps back from Freddy Boulton and he has done a really nice job on them with a quick turn around. You do get sets of hub caps come up on ebay occasionally as well.

Are there new rims being produced? I've seen 8" Lucas rims but not sure if their suitable.
