Trying to finish building a 65/40. Needing 2 speedsail stainless hubcaps with the hub holes cut out. He does have plenty of solid ones in stock. I’m reluctant to cut the openings myself. Email pardion@comcast.net if you have any. Thanks, John

Ok, turning this want ad to a tech. I can center the cap with a pair of dividers, best tool I have is a Sabre saw, than a 1/2 round mill file.
Sound like a plan?
I think a hole saw would fling that frisbee.

Have you thought about the aftermarket jobs? I bought a couple and they seen decent. P

 

[pardion]

Yes that’s what I’m trying to buy.

Speed Sail has front cut out ones.
But his guy can’t cut them yet.

John, make the hole like Downey said they did it in the old days.
set up on jack stand, put in gear so the wheel is spinning and use a tool to cut thru it similar to a lathe.

I’m pretty sure I have a pair up in the loft, do you have a pair of solids to swap?

Why all the extra holes in the tailgate?

I don’t have them yet, I just placed an order for 5 solids yesterday.Are yours speedsail’s polished stainless ones?
Don’t know why the owners body shop did not fill them and a bunch of others.
They filled all the emblem, rear seats, and tire rack holes.
I took on the project as 4 shops in Sacramento burned him and did not know what they were doing. In a hurry to finish so his 92 year old father can drive it.

Believe these are chromed steel. Bought a pair of open hole from the guy when he was still on mud. He was selling a couple of 1962 FJ40s everything went south after he made a deal with someone then sold them to someone else. His left over soft was sold to SOR. He also made safety straps for the door opening that went to SOR as well.
