Anybody have a hubcap wrench?

I go to take off the garbage this morning and the attendant hands me this box. I offered to pay him for it, but he just said take it.

So now I have a NOS wire wheel cover locking kit for T-birds and Cougars. The only thing missing is the wrench lol. :hick:

Part number is E3SZ-1A115A-A

I dunno for sure, but I'd bet there are different patterns for those keys... If not one for a '80s CV/Grand Marquis will prob fit, those were fairly common...

I should have what you need. When I upgraded to the turbines I sent the wheels/bald tires to the s yard. I saved the hubcaps and related parts. Give me a while and I'll check.

How about a pic of the bolt head. Maybe the tools can be found.

BTW, I had a 1988 T-Bird Sport way back when. I found out that it was totalled shortly after trading it in. It still has the ignition switch recall to date.

Special thanx to EricCoolCats for showing me to this site.:bowdown:

I got a tool and the bolts somewhere.
I also stopped using the bolts years ago. Just put the covers on without them. I don't think anyone would really want to steal them nowadays.

In fact, they were in my trunk for 10 years until I started working on it.

I have one (because the car originally came with wire wheel covers). Post up a pic of the bolt and I can see if my key matches ;)

I don't know what I'm gonna do with it either, but a NOS lock kit has to be rare these days. I'm guessing someone bought this because they lost their wrench, and they didn't have any use for the rest of it. If I had locking hubcaps nowadays I'd just use regular bolts. :hick:

I think mine is the same. Bet it's the only one they made for them. ;)
