RE: [Chrysler300] Help needed. help given

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I have a set of Bornestein's caps on our '55 C-300 Motor Wheel Co. 5.5"
wide, 48-spoke wire spoke wheels.  The springs do a good job of preventing
the caps from coming off, either accidentally or on purpose, but allowed the
caps to rattle on the wheels.  I added a thin strip of weather strip (one
sticky side-1/4" wide) to the mating surface of the cap and that took care
of that.  The chrome seemed a little thin in places, but otherwise looked
great. 

 

C-300'ly,

Rich Barber

Larry,

The caps will fit any of the Motor Rim Wires. If you can't find used ones
check with Bob Bornestein in Glendale. He is no longer a club member, but if
you can't come up with a phone number let me know. I'm not sure if he is
still in the business, but his were the best. Also I think you can purchase
them through Coker Tire.

Taking a few days in Carmel/Monterey Fri/Sat to find & determine where are 
LSMFT car show will take place as well as reconnoitering best ways to get 
places. Maybe when I get back this box will have the following answere in 
it.
(1) What was the softening agent recommended to make old windshield gaskets 
pliable and good to go another decade or more?
(2) Somebody made wire wheel caps....anybody got a set of four for sale? 
Need to fit the 55 Imperial but thinking the bolt pattern doesn't matter 
for the caps...?right?
