Crossy -  :welcome:

You didn't give your location but here's something for your consideration.  eBay item # 260231818387   Four tires mounted on steel wheels, complete with dog dish hubcaps and beaty rings for $50 "Buy it Now".  Here's the hitch: seller will not ship - local pickup only in Ashtubula OH.  Great deal if you're close enough!

My original '74 Runabout (purchased new when I was 16) had the dog dish/beauty ring combo and I always liked the look better than the full wheel cover.  Let's face it; even Rolls Royce used that combination well on into the late eighties or early nineties.  Classic understated elegance!  My current 1972 sedan has the same set-up and I love it. 

Good luck!

I'm in southern, NJ near Wilmington, Delaware. thanx for the heads up though. I just bought a used header from evilbay. guess I'll have to wait to see what condition it is REALLY in when it gets here. the guy wouldn't answer my questions.
I would still be intersted in knowing if anyone still makes a new one. I'm sure this one won't be worth sending out for ceramic. thanx , crossy

Hi, I took a 2000 motor out of my 71.  The headers are headman.  About 4 years old.  Let me know if you are interested.

I got lucky and found one on ebay. it got here and other than some slight denting on the bottom it is very solid.
Now to find  decent muffler that is not too loud in the car.
