Bit the bullet & ordered up a set of the reproduction dog dish caps for my new steel wheels going on.
Ordered them from Year One....believe it or not they were the cheapest with the 20% off code I had.
Took about a week to get them. Got them today & opened the box & found them nicely individually wrapped in bubble wrap & tissue paper.
Took out the first one & I was amazed! A nearly perfect SS reproduction piece! Dull stainless on the backside like he originals. Felt exactly as heavy as the originals. A very well made part. Ahh I was happy
Until I decided to "check the rest of them"
Second one I unwrapped was just as nice....got to the third one & I was like [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]?!?! Right away you can see the backside was shiny....I unwrapped it & it felt like PLASTIC! WAAAY lighter than the other 3 & even shinier then them as well. Fratzog looks different as well....what the heck is this [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] cap I got???!?!?
Of course YO is closed when i got home....I hope they make this right!!!
Crappy cap is on the left in the pics

Not really "mad" at anyone yet. Im sure YO will do the right thing & send me another cap. I was assuming B/E & A was the only supplier but when I got one "plastic" cap I thought there might have been another?
How can they wrap up one different cap in a set & expect no one to notice or say anything for $300+ a set? Even for $30 a set?
Anyone else get a bad one (or 2 or 3)??

Years ago I watched a guy sort through a stack of them at a show. He only took 2 and then was promised that the other 2 would be hand picked to match the ones he had taken and shipped to him. He explained they were going on a high dollar resto, so he sorted out ones with "weak" stampings. So this has probably been an issue for awhile....

Hey Chris, I'll bet I can take care of that for you. Sounds like you have a chromed aluminum one mixed in the set.;)

That's exactly what it feels like. I'd like to have all SS ones
