Reproduction centers for straight ear knock-offs

PFSEX · #1 06-06-2012, 10:03 AM

Hi all

I found a source for the center emblem used for the staight ear knock-offs used on 275s and 330s with 14 inch alloy wheels (campagnolos).

Not appropriate for wire wheels that use K-O with angled ears.

These have the raised Ferrari horse and the arrow below. Exact copy of the originals that haven't been available forever.

I can get a better deal if I buy more than one set. Anyone interested?

PM if interested.

Newco Products offers these but they are not correct. They are missing the intermediate ridge and step in the disc surface, separating the zone of the arrow from that of the horse.

Is this the ledge you are speaking about?

Do keep in mind when judging Ferrari's that "Borani" is wrong for 1947 KO's which should be "Rudge Whitworth".

Yes Tom, that's it.

The one shown in the photo with the step may be an original - it is definitely different that what I was shown.

Alos, the one in the photo has already been 'worked' many times - the relief and detail on the horse has all but disappeared. My originals are in about that same condition.

The one in photo is brand center cap, laser cut.
Extremely high definition and very sharp
Never chromed

I have a full set

Tom's set look good to me, get those chromed up and they will be perfect!

below pictures are original centers for 275 Starbusrt wheel spinners:

This one of Tom's. I think they look great.

I agree that looks very good - but it also looks wrong as the horse is essentially flat with no relief.

It is definitely better than the ones that have been polished to nothing though.
