I need some original HRE 504 center caps or something that will fit.

I DO NOT need the big piece, but instead, I need the threaded cap.

as you can see in the pic, I need something to cover the threaded center cap. If I cannot find something soon, I will spend way too much money to have something crazy CNC'd to work. I really don't need to spend suspension money. So, any and all help would be awesome.

Thanks

Doing that later in the day.

Custom flat cap?

If I do anything custom, it will be 4-5 inch spikes CNC'd for the rear and 2-3 inch for the front.. But that would cost a lot

EPIC... thank you good sir. I was being lazy and making the assumption, that these wheels are so old they wouldn't make/have/sale the centers anymore.

I guess that's what I get for thinking..

invisi reps for you

I did the CAD model and then had them rapid prototyped. Not cheap, but still. Saved me some time in the machine shop.

It's a plastic powder that is laser sintered together layer by layer. They "grow" your part in the machine.

nice... But if I was gonna go that far, I would just invest in some CNC'd spikes

different strokes for different folks. You could do spikes on a hand lathe.
