Source for hubcap retainer?

I picked up a really nice factory dog dish hubcaps off ebay. Couldn't find any of the retainer clips on there. I know the obvious choice is the salvage yard, but I wondered if anyone else carries them?

Are there 3 small holes within the bolt circle of these hubcaps?

No, those are the other style. These are the chrome ones, and the clip bolts to the rim by the 3 holes. Found a pic on google.

I know which wheel and which hubcap, but there's no pic of the attaching parts.

So would this be 4 clips per wheel retained by screws and nuts?

I believe it's one piece, bolts to the rim like a center cap, and has folded over 'clips', like on a 70s full size wheel cover. I'll probably check out pull a part this weekend.

Hub Cap Clips

Don't know if this will work for you or not but I have a restored Wheel Horse tractor and was missing a clip for one of the chrome hubcaps which I found clips at a truck stop. These are used to hold the caps on the big rigs. Jim
