I am looking for moon hub caps but have been unable to find any that fit over the very large axle/grease caps on our van.  I tried Antique tyres as we bought our wheels from them but they were unable to help me. Any suggestions? The only ones I can find are the hub caps with a pointy centre but they are not the look I am after. |

Experienced the same problem with our tandem Franklin. I bought a set second hand on eBay but it really is the luck of the draw getting ones that fit. Try typing 'deep dog dish' in your search  Long story, I had a much nicer set that matched the Dodge but there was no way they would fit, so when I got the new axles I got them to change the hubs. The hubcaps still don't really fit but I forced them! I'm sure they will fall off eventually but we made it to Adelaide & back. And no, I won't be selling the other ones  Bit hard to see  vintagecaravans.proboards.com/thread/17288/1962-franklin-bondwood-tandem |

Here are the sexy hubcaps I changed the whole hub to use.  & here are some measurements of the ones that did fit, someone may recognise what they are from.   Measured from inside middle of cap, roughly 6cm depth  Just a helpful tip for everyone, when you do find the right hubcaps, write your phone number inside them |
