Hello all, this is my first post with you and I'm sure there will be many more to come. I have been a Cougar nut well before I could drive one! I still remember sitting in my grandfathers Cougar in the garage and dreaming of driving it when I was older and when it got passed down to me it was a dream come true for me. I never liked things stock so while in high school and college years I made a few changes like aftermarket wheels. I bought Keystone Classics for it about 20 years ago and now all of the glued on inserts on the center caps are missing. I would like to put some new center caps or inserts with the running cat logo in there but the cheapest I found online was $28/each for caps and I don't know if they would fit right on the wheels. Does anyone know where I could find just the inserts that I could cement on my wheels fairly cheap. Thanks,

Oh, by the way, here is a picture of what it used to look like back 20 years but it needs lots of work before I can get it back out on the streets. Doing a little restore this winter.

That's a good idea, I don't know where to find the inserts, but I know somebody that did that a few years ago. I also have a set of those wheels with T/A's, but my offset might be different. What size tire do you run in the front ?

I don't remember my offset on the wheels but they are 14X7 rims with 205-70-14 up front and 235-60-14 in rear. I also cut a coil and a half off the front springs to lower the front but I scape my headers on everything and sometimes in corners I barely touch the fenders. I ordered a 1" front spring poly isolator to help bring it back up just a tad but I really like the low front end look.

Hey - welcome aboard! That is one pretty car. So that was your Grandpa's car? How cool is that? Have fun with the resto - keep us posted with lots of pics.

EBay actually has inserts that stick on, just search....I got a set of Mercury Man inserts for my 73 Mach I mag slots on my 68. The inserts fit the centers perfectly in my case. They are the thick semi-soft stick on kind that you typically see on modern steering wheel center emblems....

Thanks for the reply. I'll check into it.

Think this is what you are looking for........I bought the Mercury Man centers from someone else.....these look like a similar construction....I have pics if you want to see...
