Hi all. I'm looking for one or more of the Vintage Wheels Halibrand wheel lug nut covers number LC01. (see pic).

Or other brand of a similar lug nut cover.

Vintage Wheels is sold out.

Cheers
Greg

Or beg , borrow or rent one to use as a pattern to make a pattern/mold to make fiberglass ones to fit my wheels.

Cheers
Greg

These may work if you cut the lower tabs off:

I just noticed you said you only needed one cover.

These are $30 each from FFR vs $145 for four and low profile lugnuts from ET.

From this thread it looks like the ET TeamIII covers will work on your wheels.

The lug nut cover was pioneered by ET Mags /Team Three Wheels Inc. for our AC-3 wheel, 20 years ago. We have made 2 versions , 1 for the early sand cast wheels and another for the permanent mould wheels, Each was designed to fit the wheel perfectly. The cover is stamped aluminum, textured and painted to match the wheel finish. It is retained by our forged decorative knock-off to give the look of a true pin-drive wheel.
The cover has been copied by others , but all ways as an after though, so the fits are not there. I think with a little bending, sanding and painting ours might fit other wheels, but it will require some time on your part.
We make replacement Knock off spinners for Compomotive, PSE, Halibrand cobra-3,and other brands of wheels. Along with Pin drive Accessories, Knock off spinners in 2 different ear angles, hub adapters and pin nuts.
We also repair other brands of wheels that have been damaged and are no longer available.

Thanks
scott
