Re: [T3] beauty (trim) ring identification


JimA=> They could be either type 1 or type 3

They could also be for either 4- or 5-lug wheels. The inner diameter of a
5-lug ring is just a little larger than a 4-lug cap, so they don't mix.
Variations in number and shape of holes identify them for Type 1 or Type 3,
and there are a couple of further variations for Type 34s, plus the various
pattern options, especially in the very early years. All this makes it hard
to know whether a given set of rings found at a swap meet or somewhere is
correct for your car.

And if you do find trim rings you like in good condition, don't forget that
you need the special hubcap puller and lever that came with the car's tool
kit -- otherwise you'll mess up the ring the first time you try to pull a
cap.
