central52 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) My mechanic is doing my brakes, and he says he needs the front axle wheel bearing dust cover cup. Simple thing. But there's no place that sells a mundane piece like this anymore for vintage cars, at least I couldn't find a place. Any ideas? Ed Edited April 7, 2015 by central52 Quote
_shel_ny Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) NAPA 730-2049. You will need to cut a relief slot on each side so that it will fit in the hub. Some have it in stock. EDIT 2 sorry # is 730 2409 Edit: http://p15-d24.com/topic/28352-front-hub-dust-cap/ Edited April 8, 2015 by shel_ny Quote
austinsailor Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 Try napa or a trailer parts place. Quote
janan5243 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Posted April 7, 2015 I needed one for my zero turn mower. I took the one I had to a New Holland dealer & he had one that fit. That said, an auto part store, a tractor supply or possibly a trailer supply might have one. Quote
TrampSteer Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 I lost mine in the truck a couple weeks ago when the hubcap flew off at 50mph. Took a ford cup, cut it a bit to resize it then finished it off with muffler tape to seal it. Ground it back a little to fit. Cheap as chips. Quote
central52 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Very interesting, but I forgot to mention that this is for a car, not truck. Will that make a difference? Ed Edited April 9, 2015 by central52 Quote
_shel_ny Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Very interesting, but I forgot to mention that this is for a car, not truck. Will that make a difference? And, I called a couple of NAPA stores in my area, Hamden, Ct., and they don't recognize the number. Hmmm. So, I went on ebay, punched in the number, and it showed that item, made by Belkamp, for $9.99, free shipping. Ed Sorry, I transposed #'s in my post. # was correct in the linked thread. 730-2409 About $1.99- $2.09 at NAPA Edited April 8, 2015 by shel_ny Quote
central52 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks for the correction. My napa store has it, and, again, it's for my car, not truck, does it make a difference? Ed Quote

Ed I do not know for certain, but the car hub measures 1.927" (+ or -) The NAPA cap spec is 1.93" Slight relief provided by the 2 slots cut in the cap per the pic in the link in post 2 should make it a go. $1.99 + tax and a trip to the store Edit: forgot the measurement pic Edited April 9, 2015 by shel_ny Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Posted April 13, 2015 I don't think there is any difference in appearance between the car and truck item.......just possibly the size......depth and circumference. Can you measure the remaining one to determine those numbers? I put in Google the search term "grease dust cap" and lots of places came up. Also.....try eBay under whatever search you wish to put in.

End of the thread in the link that I posted seems to show that the part # is the same for both, well at least the lighter trucks. Quote
central52 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Posted April 15, 2015 Yes, Napa 730-2409 fits perfectly. No need for relief cut. Here's a pic. Ed Quote
