    Okay, I have done a search but can't see to find where I read this on here so thought I'd ask for some help. I would like to know what size e-clip or snap ring that someone used to lock on their Magnum 500 center caps.
    I need to know what size was used and where they got the snap ring or e clip. All the ones I run across are too small.
    Thanks for any and all help everyone!

    Just a follow up to the above article.
    I have the larger center caps -2 1/8th.
    The clips I used were of the same size - 2 1/8th.
    They are really snug and there is no movement of the cap on/against the wheel.
    Thanks again to all and the above posted link.
    Oh cost was $5 for all 4 at a local Fastenal--couldn't find them anywhere else.
