    trying to find some chrome moon style center caps for a project. kind of looking at a style similar in size and shape to the crown vic police center caps. Also, i need to to mount on the lug nuts since the wheels i am using do not have the nubs for traditional "baby moons". seeing as to how most of you guys have been around longer than i, i figured y'all might have some ideas...

        Does the stock cap have a metal inner structure or are the tabs cast into the plastic?

        If its metal pull it off and weld them to a set of the baby moons.

        Another option is to build a jig to weld tabs directly to your wheel.

          I ran a set of 46 ford small caps on a set of '50 Merc wheels that had the big dimples for the Mercury caps. I welded a little "Tit" (4 of them) on the center of the wheel so the smaller caps would fit. Rann them for years with no problem. It would be easier now with the newer wire feed welders. I used an old stick welder. Things were pretty primitive back then.
