I have only one hubcap left. My machinist does not know when he will be able to make another production run.

Jean,
I posted a little while back that I only have one hubcap left in stock. I contacted my machinist about acquiring more since I had also had another request. He previously said he did not know when he would have time for another run because they sold so slowly. I will ask him again and let you know.

I just heard back from my machinist. He said he will make another run of hubcaps, but it will take some time because he his backed up with other projects. If you can be patient we can get them for you and I will notify you when we have them available.

HUBCAP UPDATE. I just heard back from my machinist. He has completed FIVE sets of hubcaps and will be shipping them to me shortly. Please note, these will be the last hupcaps that he will produce. There will be no more after these are sold. I will let you know as soon as I have them. Cost will be $40.00 per each hubcap, plus shipping and I will include a gasket with each one.

Just curious if he owns the tooling or you. Its a shame to know that these are the last unless someone builds new tooling...

My understanding is that in addition to any die tooling it takes something like at least a 20 ton press and then the hubcap flanges are finished on a CNC machine. The problem is the small amount of demand for the part, so it is not practical to automate the production. That makes the production very labor intensive and there is really no profit margin based upon the man hours required.

Jean,
I have received the last batch of hubcaps from my machinist. The cost is $40 each and shipping to Tennessee is $8.30 by USPS Priority Mail. I will send you a PM with details for payment by PayPal.

I believe that I may have only one hubcap left, I will confirm and let you know. I also have the correct trusshead bolts and special nuts.
