All the caps listed in the previous reply are the 2 1/2” inner caps that fit the rear hubs. What Matt wants if the larger outer cap that was available and fit over the rear inner cap and the big nut on the front. Gary is correct that they were a FORD part number and they were also chrome plated and much heavier in construction and I ran them on the 77 Eleganza II. They were a little over 4” in Diameter. These fit on the hub and not the wheel. They have not been available from FORD for a long time and I have not found any similar replacements. Jim K does not list it on his website. I know that Matt is looking for one of this size cover and it will have to be a used one from someone that might have taken them off and never reinstalled them. The set that I had had gotten rusty and I ended up using the kind shown in this picture on the 77 coach.

I use the Alex Sirum Aluminum Covers that fit on the wheel and held on by the lug nuts on the Stretch coach.

They are available from Alex or Jim K
I would suggest calling Alex S, Jim B, Jim K even Tom Hampton to see if they might have one laying around.
