7.00 x 6 Hubcaps

Post by IA DPE »

My 170B has Cleveland 7.00 x 6 wheels installed. Eventually I'd like to find some wheel pants that will fit them, but until then I'd like to find some hubcaps. I intended to make my own but the tube stem sticks out far enough I'm afraid a flat cover would put it in too much of a bind.

Any idea where I can find hubcaps for 7.00 x 6 wheels? I checked the Univair and Aircraft Spruce catalogs with no luck.

Regarding wheel pants, I found an old thread listing someone who made Carbon Fiber pants, but the website is not current and the email bounced back :(

Are you sure you have Cleveland 7.00 x 6 wheels and not 700 x 6 tires on a Cleveland 6.00 x 6 wheel hub part 40-97a?
