I bought a standard 45mm bearing dust cap for my front wheels and they aren't deep enough (30mm) to fit.
What do you all run that works/fits and can you please provide links.
I didnt think it would be hard to find something.
Needs to be about 40mm + deep.

Thanks

This is the standard dust cap. Are you running stock hubs? Drum or disc and are they aftermarket?Front Wheel Bearing Dust Caps 1964-72 Exc 9" Brakes, Front Wheel Dust Caps, 101-DC3416PR Reproduction, NOS and Used Mopar Muscle Car Parts
 
Have to agree....i thought Rockauto and everyone else would have them readily available as well. But when i was searching a few months back for 60's drum hubs, they were scarce....seems only universal chrome ones kept popping up.

RA and many others sources most of their stuff offshore (ie China etc ) so anything that's not from here might not fit....
 
I used Dorman's ... p/n 13996

You really need something that will knock them in evenly around the lip. Otherwise they just dent if you try tapping them in.
 
An oversize socket works....or a short section of exhaust pipe.

I also bought a driver for them from him, but he doesn't have them on his site anymore. It's like this one from Mancini.

Hey mate, any chance you can tell me what the OD measures of these.
I ordered some from a local supplier and they turned up with an OD of 40mm which didnt fit. I need them to be about 42.5 - 43mm. Will order from your link if they are correct.
 
My old ones were dinged up, went to napa they had a pair the next day.
I pitched the boxs or I would have a # for you.
 
I think they are / or at least were recently still avail from Mopar

Sorry, my car is in storage. But if you're using what he describes that they fit in the description, you should be good. Or you could message him for the measurement, too.
