The pop rivets or phillips head screws do NOTHING to hold the centre cap to the main outer disc. To separate the centre cap from the main outer disc you will need to use a spot weld drill or similiar device....Jack
What? you're telling me? Please read carefully my post in reply to Warrens post. Simon. |

Sorry Simon. I do hope there was some tongue in cheak in your remark. I hope so. Never the less I'm not telling anybody anything just sharing an observation and experiences and I presume you come to this forum to have to enjoy, share and learn something or help someone else learn something about something with someone with a common interest, in our case motor cars. Simply put. help them or get help taken there will be times when it's necessary to be serious and other times when you need to have fun, be humble enough to accept that not everyone is as bright and has the skills as you or you necessarily as skilled and as bright as them and give and receive accordingly and hopefully all enjoy the experience. If you would like some help or if you think you can help me enjoy this experience then I'm pleased Your're here with us to read this we're in the right place.The Websters dictionary has the meaning for FORUM as: 2nd. A court or tribunal. 3. An assembly for discussion of questions of public interest. No sorry I'll try and put it another way. Simon I would be delighted for you to DO and to HAVE what you NEED to be able do what you would want to do to enjoy your monaro and excited that I can or may have contributed in some way. Similiary in the process of me doing up my Sydney built type 1 yellow 81837 with delete option stripe and 18X interior that I have owned since it was 11 years old, I have bought parts from and listened to and taken note of Simons advice over the years and helped me enjoy it in the process. Despite all that I look forward to a beer with others to work out the how and when and why we bother.....Jack

Jack you may need to chill out a bit bud, that is one long winded story that may not really have been required on this occasion.
I think you may like to go back and read Warren and Simons posts again, as i dont think you still have quite got Simons point .
Simon was saying he has the screw on centre cap nuts on a HT which Warren is claiming are on HK only .
He also knows very well that the centre caps are also spot welded on underneath the fake wheel nuts .
Like many items people are not aware of parts that spilled over from HK well into HT like the round hole guards which many believe were only on HKs , but in fact went right in to HT through most of 1969 that i have seen .
Best Regards Jonathan

Guys on a related subject, if the screw retained replica nut versus the rivetted replica nut is not 100% reliable as to model, is there a definitive way to differentiate between HK and HT GTS hubcaps or at least identify a late HT type?

Thanks Jonathan. I dont need to retort now. You've said it for me. I was going cross eyed reading that post. Yes I agree 100% with what you said. I too have found the round hole on HT guards. |

Its hard and probably only identifiable by the colour of the background of the wheel trim on a good honest unrestored example. As you know the HK & HT both had red paint fill on the centre caps but the background paint colour on the face of the cap was alot lighter on HT's. HK had a darker background. |

OK thanks Simon. I was wondering because I have 4, all pretty ratty and have no way of being 100% certain that none have previously been repainted but of the 2 with screws, one is a significantly lighter grey than the other yet both have screws on the replica nuts.
This topic prompted me to look at the parts books. It is interesting too because they indicate that if you bought replacement nuts (which, if I interpret the terminology of the books correctly, are 7437075) you also bought pan head screws and washers to affix them with - 9414712 and SP1460. These parts are common to all 4 Parts Books for the K,T & G and there appears to be no mention of a rivet as a spare part to affix the nuts with.
So IF that is right then how's this for a theory? - the apprentice tyre fitter took the rattle gun to the nuts on your wheel cap, so they had to be replaced - you could then end up with your T or G caps having screws and washers on the nuts and if that replacement was done early enough, the cap in toto could today still look original.

Thanks Jonathan for your input. I can manage that. If it all that troubles you then ignore it, let it go. Just see if you can manage just the last line then.....Jack
