Center caps for 1986 ssp
 
Where or what are you guys using for center caps for a 1986 ssp mustang with the stock wheels. I have tried to google and looked around. Is someone making some aftermarket center caps for the wheels?

Taurus centercaps will work for the rears only. They are the same style and look identical but will not work on the fronts. Those centercaps are very hard to find.

That's true. The Escort caps will work on the rear, but I think they are too shallow to clear the front hubs. However, I remember seeing that somebody cut the center section out of some Escort caps, bonded/inserted a cut section of PVC pipe, and reassembled it. A little paint and it looked great.

The 1985-86 SSP center caps or the Taurus center caps are very hard to find? I bet a Taurus cap that fits an 85-6 SSP wheel is harder to find (The Taurus wheels were 5-lug vs. 4-lug for the Mustang SSP). Just havin' some fun with you Jim.
