1935 Locking Hubcap Key Cylinder Screw

[admiral1960]

Does anyone know a source for the 1935 Locking Hubcap Lock Cylinder screw ?

It has a six sided 5/16" head on the screw which I understand is supposed to break off when it is tightened leaving a rounded ball.

To remove the screw then requires filing two straight sides on it so a wrench / crescent wrech / vise etc can be used

Most just use a round head slotted screw of the correct thread size. It will never be seen.

That's what I do.

If it comes up in fine point judging, tell'em your wife has the key and she's in a bad mood.
