Posted November 7, 201014 yr comment_335425 So I had been looking for replacement caps for the corroded "Shelby" plastic center caps that came on my 240... mine are mounted with 4 screws into the wheel face and have proven difficult to find... so today I decided to find out what a little steel wool would do to them - hoping it wouldn't destroy them. Wow! While they are far from perfect they will all clean up to serviceable level... now I have to find replacement stickers for the center... sure would like "Shelby" stickers.

November 7, 201014 yr comment_335427 Check eBay. There was a guy on there selling replacement stickers, but it was a while ago. This is what they look like.

November 16, 201014 yr comment_336193 They must have made different caps, i have only one original cap that has all four ears and it does not have a sticker. The snake is a molded part of the cap.

November 17, 201014 yr comment_336199 Does anybody have a line on someone who can reproduce this part? Seems like a few Mustang and "Shelby" Cobra owners might like a set too. That is assuming KJP would supply the donor part.

November 17, 201014 yr Author comment_336201 I'm looking into some options for getting these made. I had some success having a "group-buy" of grill badges made for the vintage Toyota crowd (I was thinking of the same for the Datsun world).. I'm going to see what I can drum up for center caps too....Mark Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/37606-shelby-center-caps-clean-up/#findComment-336201 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are many versions of Shelby caps. Here are some pictures from the 1972 Shelby Wheels catalog and one picture from a later Carroll Shelby Wheels catalog (early 80's I think?). I found some NOS cast metal caps to use on my Shelby Vipers (Libre style). -Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/37606-shelby-center-caps-clean-up/#findComment-336315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
