Trim ring tabs

Has anyone had any experience/luck replacing the tabs that hold the trim rings on the wheel?
Any and all input appreciated.
I've got some pretty nice rings but one has one broken off tab and another has two broken tabs, it would be a shame not to be able to use these................. :(

Re: Is this listing suitible for use on a '66 Factory Q-Jet?

The parts shown in that link are Q Jet parts probably made by Holley. BUT you're getting very generic just ordering a Q Jet kit by year and motor. Look for a round orange tinted tag on the left side of your carb (if it's original), a great many '66 Toro Q Jets were replaced due to problems (like fir...

Re: 425 crankshaft

Not rare at all; all '65 - '67 425's and 400's had them as well as some 455's (but it's harder to find a 455).

Re: toronado suppliers

Keep a close eye on that chrome fuel pump; they're notorious for cracking.
I think the chroming process makes them brittle.

Re: Toronado Resto-Mod?????

Re: 1968 Toronado

Looks nice Dave!
Are the Western wheels the same backspace, etc. as factory wheels?
I know they where made for Toros and Eldos but that's about all I know about them.
Also are they the same width?
Thanks,
