Lost a hubcap from my 54 Meteor.
Hey guys, a while back I lost a hubcap from my Canadian 1954 Meteor with a Flathead. I have never posted any of my videos here before myself, but here is the YouTube video of when I lost that hubcap, and my hunt to try to find it. I think someone else posted one of my videos here before I even knew about this forum (thanks by the way) when I first got the engine started after sitting for 55 years.
If it's inappropriate for me to post my videos, please let me know. If it's ok, in the future I will have more videos about this car, there is a ton of footage for me to edit of the last year or so of me working on the car. https://youtu.be/R3F1DA6R4LA |

Re: Lost a hubcap from my 54 Meteor.
Had that happen to a Spider Cap on my 1938 Convertible in my neighborhood. Looked and looked to no avail. Had a couple out for a walk ask what I was doing and after giving up to go to a "Cars and Coffee" event nearby got a text from my wife that they found the cap and posted it on the neighborhood facebook account. It rolled way father then I would have thought possible then turned at the cross street and went downhill a LONG ways before stopping. Have seen your videos before and will have to check out more, a neat car you saved from sitting!

Lost a cap off my 36 so now I put 3 or 4 dabs of RTV on them when installing. Haven't lost one since.

Re: Lost a hubcap from my 54 Meteor.
That's a good idea, I will definitely do that.
I did bend the tabs out and they are a bit hard to put back on, but they don't come off anymore. I have put over 3000 miles on the car since the video was recorded, and haven't had one come off in that time. The dabs of silicone are also a good idea. |

I am totally interested in this! Those hubcap centers are very hard to come by. Please send me the pics, or post them here. I have been wondering how to make new ones for quite some time.
