metal center caps for 93-95???

[ddw350]

are they available? i remember once someone saying that they found a plain cap from a tempo or taurus,i cant remeber if this is true or if was dreaming it one night....if i could get metal caps,i could get my wheels powdercoated with that liquad chrome stuff and end my wheel woes forever! thanks guys for any info....

I inquired about the same thing over at TCCoA (http://forums.tccoa.com/showthread.php?t=85475&highlight=center) and was told that 89-92 SC wheels had metal center caps. I never did verify it though.

i hear the early style cap is larger than the 93-95,i cant be sure though..im sure someone will know,the local junkyard has a ton of caps on a pile,i may go up there and root around to see if anything will fit,problem will be it may say volvo or something on it...

89-92 center caps will not fit 93-95 wheels. To big.

[ddw350]

ahhh,thats what i tought...dammit...thanks fo the info!

Interesting. I had just assumed that they were all metal with the exception of the Anniversary black ones (Plastic with a metal retaining ring) I reckon you learn something new every day! I have never owned anything higher than a '90 though (2 Annie 5 Speeds and an '89 5-speed)

I saw your new thread over at TCCoA, ddw. I happen to have a set of 92 SC wheels and 95 SC wheels. I will find out if they are interchangeable for sure this evening. ;)

thanks,i hear they are too big though,bummer....

The early center caps are too big. You are going to have to try something else.

i may look at mustang,taurus or something,i see eariler mustangs have metal caps with the ford logo and oval on them,id do that,that would be different...

Check SHO wheels also. I remember when I had my 89SHO I put sc wheels on it with the SHO center cap but its been so long I cannot tell you if the SHO caps were plastic or metal

[ashedd]

SHO caps are plastic if anyone still cares. I have 3 of them...SHO's not center caps.

im still on the topic! im waiting for it to get warmer out,then im gonna check a few junk yards and look around.i'll take my rim with me,the places i called says"if you see one try it,just put it back if it dont work" i figured i cant go wrong that way...ive bid on a few turbo coupe caps but lost.im gonna try and get just 1 cap,then take the 1 cap and 1 wheel to the powder coat shop and have them do it in the "liquid chrome" and see what it looks like...if it looks good i can proceed with my project,if it looks crappy,i'll put it in the shen with the others and chalk it up as a loss...

I believe that the metal centercaps from the 85-88 tbird wheels will work, the bird logos are slightly smaller but comparing them to my 92 sc wheels they are slightly smaller and will fit 15 inch reg 89- 93 tbird wheels for sure as i am using them on my winter wheels. Yhey should fit the 93-95sc wheels

[ddw350]

they may be the same as the tirbo coupe caps,im not sure...i ought to be able to find some of them...are they completely metal? if theres any plastic the cant be powdered coated..so they say... also how do they look on rim,are they a good bit different looking than the regular caps for the 89-93? thanks for the info

[BArtkowsky]

they are not completely flat like the supercoupe ones but they look ok. They are all metal too
