Topic: Looking for a Hubcap

  The tire shop that mounted my Diamondback lost one of my hubcaps during the test drive. I've attached a picture for reference. I found new ones at Mac's and C&G but they are not exact (indented rings). Send a PM or respond to this post.

Thanks

  Might I suggest you place this in "parts wanted"? You'd have a much greater chance of finding one if this was placed properly.

  Mike, I got two hits on my want ad. One is a legitimate and the other probably not. The store that mounted my Diamondbacks contacted the seller. The bought the hubcap and it is on the way. The second individual "Nicholas Islo" stated "Just want to let you know that I have parts for 1938 Ford .. If you are interested, Contact me on my direct email". The 1938 Ford was a cut and paste operation to a generic response. I searched the web and his name popped up as "fraud" on this site plus on a "Douglasmotorcycle" .

  Nicholas probably uses several other names also. Good for you that you spotted this crook.

  My ad in the past wanted section paid off. A Ford Barn user GaryU had a good '38 hubcap that matched mine. Success! Thanks Gary U.

  Same person contacted me with 36 ford parts for sale.He pictured a 36 sedan he was "breaking apart"

  I just want to make this clear GaryU delivered on what he said at the price he said.

Thanks GaryU.
