Guys,
Does anyone repop the backing plate on the caps?
My caps are fine but some of the clips are broken
At one time they were offered through the dealer as a separate purchase item
Thanks

Buy some at the swap and remove them.

I waited to reply, because I figured someone "in the know" would speak up;

I am sure they are out there, but it appears as though Ames doesn't offer this part by it self;
Ames offers both black (#FT101P) and red (#FT102P) 'original clip design' center cap assemblies;
The picture in their catalog clearly shows the original style backing on these cap assemblies.

I did look in the Classic Industries catalog, and they don't even offer the 'original clip design' caps what so ever.

Personally, I have been buying ugly-OE 1973-1975(?) caps, and pulling the 'backing plates' off to use in OE-PMD caps.

GM number for just the spring clip was 9792997, superseded to 480303 sometime between 70-72. You may find some NOS searching with those #'s.

I bought correct style nos for my 70. But I seen 2 types on repop, I'm not sure if they are exactly the same (repos) as nos. Probably finding an old set and reusing the backs or getting nos is my suggestion.

[unruhjonny]

my understanding is that there are two kinds of repops;
1) 100% OE style (Ames offers these)
2) original look with different style backing

The red GM medallions actually have two kinds (at least as far as the GM parts are concerned);
First style was a lighter red;
Second style was a darker red.
The darker red ones are the easier ones to find as NOS parts;
Back in 1998 my cousin and I bought (as I recall) eight of the last ten (or so) red PMD medallions left in GM of Canada inventory.;
Some were bagged, some were in boxes.

Unless I have misunderstood your question;

The question I answered was about reproduction center caps.

Reproduction center caps were not around in decades bygone.

67-72

The early arrowhead caps (73 and up) have the prong backing like the PMD caps.

'73-6 (also in reproduction (OER) with the spring clip riveted, or pinned, in). '77-up used the non-replaceable style.
No separate spring clip sold at this time.
