Okay, going to edit the reproduction thing in the hubcap post. Not only are the ones I compared smaller top to bottom on the wings of the bowtie, I measured them with a dial caliper and the poor repop is much
taller in the center. Heres all three. Original on left, the "Good" reproductions in the center and the currently available far right.
For the bowtie wings I will call them
Original measures .593
GOOD reproduction .500
Poor reproduction .463
Center of bowtie or center square
Original measures .890 tall
GOOD reproduction .820 tall
Poor reproduction .992 tall
You can see now why the poor reproductions look so disproportioned. Also notice the ridge around the center is more rounded compared to the poor reproduction thats more pointed. Fine for many street trucks but this is a restoration thread. Hate to sound so over critical but that bowtie sucks !
