hub cap

[Leroy Eckert]

I don't know what your are using on your wheels. I use Simichrome Aluminum
polish made in Germany on my wheels. 17 years ago I used it to polish my 1946
Globe Swift aircraft using a black light. Anal I was, I didn't want to see any
white spots. I was single with more money than good sense at the time. It is not
cheap, but it works and fast. If you have pits or scratches you may need to work
them over with wet carbide paper in the 1500 grit variety before polishing.

Well, it looks like my best bet is to pop the other one and
measure it up. It doesn't have any notches, but the lip is
definitely less that an inch just from memory. Maybe I will just put
it in the car and stop at a few truck stops and try to match it up.

Since I have spent half a lifetime polishing the rims, and I'm not
done yet, I just hate to see it without the shiny moon in the center.
