Hurst Wheel Spinner Center Cap Value

[SuperNovaSS]

Thank you for all the replies guys. I figured the backing plates and hardware would be used from the original standard caps that came with the wheels. Is this not the case?

Also, yes, the backing plates are welded to the caps. Are you saying this is not original? Maybe early caps had the plates pressed on but were found to be unreliable and later made ones were welded?

I am just trying to learn from those in the know as there is not much accessible info on there on these.

Thanks again everyone,

Jason

Standard Hurst backing plate will work with the machine screws and split washers. The brazed backing plates may be stock Hurst modifications. These Hurst optional spinner caps are actually made by a Japanese vendor that produced as very similar cap for the Ford 1965-1966 Deluxe Spinner Hub cap for the Ford Mustang. Looking closely at the spinner backing plates and caps you will see a slot for the backing plates and the cap to slide into with small tabs to bend down to secure the backing plate to the back of the spinner. Brazing may have been done by Hurst or the previous owners s insurance from them coming undone while driving. Hurst bought these from an outside vendor, did not manufacture these in Warminster, PA.
