I'm trying to find 2 of the original style center caps for the small 5x4" bolt pattern Centerline Auto Drag wheels (15x3 1/2). They are the same C-20 cap that is used for the 4 lug wheel (VW I think). I can find the new style caps on eBay, but they have the sticker emblem. Trying to find 2 of the originals to match the two I already have. Does anyone have any of these that they'd be willing to sell, or know of a source for them? Application is for a 1970 Duster. Thanks

You will need to start a parts wanted thread.
Okay. How do I do that? Is it a different category on this site? Thx
I think I figured it out and now have it posted

If the cap is the same as used on VW 4x130 wheels, maybe try here:

For what it's worth, the true original centerline caps had a "C" with an " L" through it, like an engineering logo for centerline. The one pictured is the second version.
As I'm sure you know, the 5 on 4 wheel used a smaller cap than the normal pattern wheels, and are much harder to find. I have three pairs of small bolt lines.... but only two caps. I haven't found anything that works for the missing ones yet.
Edit: I had four lug centerlines on my V8 Vega many years ago, but I couldn't tell you if the caps were the same for 5 on 4. I suspect they were.

My pleasure. The first version caps are extremely rare. I haven't seen any on a car in at least ten years. When they first came out, centerlines were very expensive. They didn't become popular till the racers started using them in place of the fragile supertricks
Edit: found an ebay listing for four new four lug autodrag caps,like yours pictured. $65. From lugnutking. Googled c-70 centerline caps.

I know I'm right....
lugnutking is a good guy, if he's the same dude that used to sell on the car show circuit. Bins of lug nuts for a buck a piece. Found my Centerline shank nuts in 7/16LH from that guy.
