I have lost one of these bad boys. Anyone know of a source; can be plain or AC logo'd? These are the small aluminum caps with the "o-rings" that close off the axle ends. thanks, Jim

Jim,
   you can find the end caps in the US through this source: http://www.finishlineaccessories.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=52&osCsid=0ce6a5c19eab4eec03ec6da758860196
   
   But not sure if you can purchase single and without logo.

Heinz,
   thanks for the reply , but in comparing these to the ones on my AK, I believe these are Wheel center covers, not axle end covers. Any one have a thought here? Jim

Jim, not sure about this as from the picture it is hard to tell and I did not purchase for my car - but maybe you want to try that other source then I found!

Jim,
   
   
   Indead, Gerry is a great source of components and I just had visited him to get a lot of parts I had needed for the suspension of my MKIV (AK 1005) - which turned out to be a MKIII suspension and Gerry could help with some very special spare parts!
   
   Having also seen all the Kirkham's in his garage he is building for customers I can't imagine that there is a single component you can't purchase from Gerry!
   
   I am glad that there are still all this sources where we can get parts for our cars!!!

There is still interest in all things AC.
