Hi all,
Looking for baby moon hubcap clips for a 55 Shasta Trailer.
Anyone know where I might be able to purchase them. Alternatively, anyone mind measuring the clips so I can fabricate them?

I have a 1956 Shasta but the baby moon hubcaps just pop in place. Do you have a photo you can share?

I always seem to have problems posting pictures, but this link should work: Hubcap
The hubcap fits perfectly in the center circle, and you can see where the missing clips go. |

I’ve seen something like that another vintage campers but never on the Shasta. I might try trailertrasher1@gmail.com
i’ve gotten some great used parts from him. He has the best Selection at reasonable prices.

Hi Brandon,
You might also want to try a rat rod forum for advice on this. It's an unusual question, but a good one. The one alternative I see is to try to find a used rim with the clips already mounted. Is the other rim the same way?
Cheers,
Rod

Cheers, Rod Haha, given I was willing to fabricate, I wouldn't have posted if the clips were on the other wheel! When I bought my 55, it never had caps or clips. I bought the caps from someone who had previously bought a 55 with the intent to restore it. When it became too big of a project, she sold it, but kept the caps while they looked for another trailer. She ended up with a 57, but found the caps didn't fit, so sold them to me. They fit perfectly in that spot, so they're definitely the right caps for this wheel. I've talked to a person with a 56 and another person with 57 who measured their caps, and they are in fact different/larger and attach differently. I also spent time searching online, and when I find 55's, the caps look physically smaller than the later variants. So form what I can gather, they made the caps physically larger and with a different attachment mechanism in 56 and later. 55 and/or earlier models are different. |
