    WTT or WTB 3 prong center cap

    I have 2 different styles of center caps, the one on the left is what I'd call the original, but I have 3 of the other style, you can see a grain in the aluminum and the features are more squared or pronounced. I'd like a fourth of this style, am willing to trade for the cap on the left, or buy outright. need not be perfect, in fact, broken prongs are ok, too.

    thanks

    I think that the one on the left started out life looking like the one on the right. Someone got it with a polishing wheel.

    the one on the left certainly has been buffed too agressively, but I don't think it ever looked the one on the right, even the backside have a different grain or texture to it.

    I think the one on the right is a later repro, or factory replacement.

    anyone?

    The one on the right was used by the factory on the early 911s (not sure of cut-off date...Harvey Weidman can tell you.) It has squared off lettering as compared to the later 3 prong caps with a narrower script.

    I have several of the early style, Lewis. Please send me an email and I will forward a picture. I will make you a very satisfying deal on one....

    the one on the left has clearly been painted over with thick silver paint
