Block off center caps for Slot mags w/3.75 center hub hole

There are now block off caps being made if anyone is running slot mags that have too big of a center hole to put a regular Torq Thurst or US Indy mag style cap. I have a pair of Ansen slot mags that have a larger bolt circle for the center cap and dashman (www.dashman.net) which he can be found on ebay user 68rrman, made me some caps to fit. These block off plates will cover 3 ¾” center hub hole and work great for 5 on 5 slot mags. Not sure how many Ansen wheels are out there with the bigger caps but anyone can adapt and drill holes to make these work on big hub slots. Just thought I would pass it along as I have had multiple sets of 5 on 5 with a big hub and never been able to run nice looking caps. The caps are 2 7/16" bolt to next bolt.

Re: Block off center caps for Slot mags w/3.75 center hub hole

Too Kool for Skool! I have a set of old ET 5 window slots, and need to cover the center holes. I have the original plastic center caps with the "ET" logo, but they are so fragile, I don't want to break them.

My mags came off of a 60's era Gasser...

Great find! I'll have to go measure my centers and bolt circle.

Re: Block off center caps for Slot mags w/3.75 center hub hole

any covers for the front wheels? I have a set of jeep slots that fit pretty tight on the hubs. I can't get the bullet style push from behind style on because of tight clearance between the rim center hole and the hub.

Do these bolt to the rim or slip over the lugs?
