factory center cap help needed
My '65 F-100 has a set of the 1980+ aluminum factory 15"x8" wheels on it with the cast metal center caps held on by the three large slotted screws. When I picked up a pair of new tires for the front I wasn't paying attention and when I got home I noticed two of the center cap mounting screws were missing. One of the local Ford dealers actually had them in stock so I thought the problem was solved. It turns out the threaded plastic inserts that the screws thread in to had either broken / disintegrated / are now missing. Does anyone have the part number for those plastic inserts, or know of a suitable replacement?

Well, you did good, I called a local dealer, and they wanted $6.xx CDN ea
And it gets worse....I have a friend employed by Ford, he checked, and MSRP is $5.44 CDN ea
I politely declined when he asked if I wanted him to order them
