Default Dust Caps

Can some one please post a picture of the proper front wheel bearing dust cap for a march build 69 vette. I'm not sure if I have the right ones on my car and when I try to look it up, I see various different shapes. Thanks in advance

Those are for 63 to 68 Corvette. Correct number is 6274217

GM called it a Retainer because it "retained" the grease in the hub bearing cavity.

So it looks like either one of those would be right. The ones on my car have more square edges ,

471162 was first used on 1978 Corvettes
14003444 was used from 75 to 82
6274217 was used 1953 to 1977
539153 was used 63 to 68 wheel bearings were smaller

The 6274217 is the correct design for your 69 the 471162 and 14003444 may work but were not a typical factory production part for your 69 corvette. Notice the configuration of 471162 is very similar to 14003444 which most likely serviced as the replacement for 471162 and 6274217 . But the 6274217 its configuration is different the other 2.
