Title: Hubcaps Post by: FCrob on August 16, 2012, 04:20:16 PM Guys, going through some boxes of parts and found a few hubcaps. Some are the normal steel chrome type but there are three that appear to be aluminium.
My question is where the aluminum ones manufactured for any particular model fe fc special or standard models or is it a case of the aluminium was more expensive so they remade in steel to reduce costs?

As Gary said, the stainless ones tend to be more easily dented, but they last forever.
cheers RET Title: Re: Hubcaps Post by: FCrob on August 16, 2012, 06:45:33 PM Thanks guys
Can always rely on the forum for accurate fast response. I'll put them back in the box someone might need a hubcap one day. Rob Title: Re: Hubcaps Post by: TTV6FC on August 16, 2012, 09:07:17 PM I have seen these aluminium ones on caravans also,look very similar to FB but no lion as mentioned.
