Does anyone know who makes an accurate reproduction hub cap for a '49 F1? I've acquired some made in China - part# A6025 'Ford Official Licensed Product 3078'. However, they have 'sharper' edges which fit flush with the wheel rim, rather than the more rounded edges of my original hub caps. There are other more minor diferences also. These hub caps appear to be the same as those offered by Macs, Bob Drake and Dennis Carpenter (part# 6A-1130), from what I can tell by their photos, but I could be wrong.

I found NOS ones for my 50 F-1, much better quality than the repos out there. Look on Ebay and they do come up there now and then. You could also check some of the dealers that sell NOS Ford parts. They're out there as this cap was still available from Ford until the early 90's.

Thanks for that Barry - I'll do some looking around.
