PO2 hub Caps

I think these came on or could be ordered for the early C3's. I am going to look at 4 a guy has for sale. Is there any markings or numbers that identify them?

I ran them on my '70 with a red line tire. They looked great!

Notice that last picture above. You can clearly see the center ring sticks out a bit! The ring with the flags. There are other Chevy caps that are similar but that ring is flat and does not stick out.That is the biggest visual difference in the Chevy vs Corvette caps. Search the web for pictures. The difference is quite noticeable once you see it.

I recently bought a set for my ‘71. I like the idea of having two looks with very little effort.

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know who carries the valve stem extensions?

Zip has them in stock, I waited 6 months to get mine, as they were back ordered. So you know, these are repros.

Going to order a set from Zip myself I found a set of extensions at Auto Zone. A NOS set of extensions are 150.00 or more

Took a while to refurbish them and patience that I didn't know I had

I recently switched my '70 to the PO2's and redlines.... Could not be happier.... The second photo above (passenger side) shows just how far they do extend out.

Do you need stem extensions to run PO2's?

My understanding is you do need stem extensions. I haven’t tried putting a cap on.

tHANKS FOR ALL THE HELP. Are there repro's for the centers? Who carries them?
Going Friday to pick up in Athens, Ga. about 100 miles from here. I send a pic if I get them.
