a2lowvw Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 my dad just bought a 67 datsun 411 wagon with 33k miles. it is missing 2 hubcaps. lmk what you have. I am in the North Seattle area and he is in Portland. Thanks Justin Link to comment
AZhitman Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Good luck - True 411 hubcaps are pricey. I sold three, individually, for between $50 - $80 each three years ago. Link to comment
tdaaj Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Are they the full cap or dog dish? Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Try to put up pics of his current two you are trying to match up. It will make this a much easier process. Link to comment
danfiveten Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I had sold mine to a guy a while ago..well greg did for me, they are hard as heck to find. Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Picture really needed. There are 3 kinds of 411 hub caps. Small dog dish that snaps onto the clips near the bolts, PL411 full wheel peripherally slotted covers, and RL411 "porthole" covers. Don't mistake Pinto wheel covers for the slotted Datsun ones [many people do], they only have 6 slots but do look better than a bare wheel, just don't pay extra for a fake "genuine" Datsun wheel cover.

The pinto ones will probably have a ford oval and an alpha/numeric code that starts with a D1 most likely on the back side some where.. do they look like this ?? if so i have one,,,,, in fact ,,, your looking at it right now.. held on by clips like this [ Link to comment

AZhitman Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 ^ Correct. To my knowledge, those weren't ever on 411s. I have almost all the original 411 literature ever published by Nissan, and none of the pics show those. However, that's what I have on mine (just because I like the way they look), on early Roadster wheels. Link to comment
Pedro Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 The Australian delivered 410/411's came with the small dog dish hubcaps. Link to comment
wayno Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have always thought the 520/521 hubcap should have some kind of sticker in the middle, but I have never seen one to this day with a sticker. Link to comment
a2lowvw Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 not my pic but they are this style Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 not my pic but they are this style Those are the "porthole" wheel covers also used on the original 1500 Roadster. Hardest to find, good luck. You are in the right area, contact Tana the Datsun Lady and see if she has some in her 411 parts collection. Link to comment
erichwaslike Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 not my pic but they are this style thats my car^^^^^ i have that one and another but it would take some serious money to get em outta my hands as i hoarde all sss 411 parts. if you decide to get different ones for your car and wanna sell yours im always interested in more Link to comment
EricJB Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 My 411sss was bought from Tana by my brother, a long time ago. It came without caps, and it didnt take long to find out it was cheaper to buy a set of nissan wheels than the hubcaps. It's also pretty easy to have $500.00 worth of hubcaps stolen. Sell the ones you have to Erich and move on. I went with these. 13"s so it still has that dorky sleeper look. Link to comment
AZhitman Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Eric, I loooooove your wagon. :) +1 on skipping the hubcap plan. Sell 'em to Mike and find some Roadster wheels and 521 hubcaps... Here's what it'll look like: Link to comment

a2lowvw Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 i plan on taking it out and getting some non-point and shoot pictures of it. 1 Link to comment
AZhitman Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 She's beautiful. I'd buy that in a second. Link to comment
tdaaj Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Very nice car, but in a side note, nanars cap is a 411 cap. Not a 520/521 cap. 411 caps are smaller in diameter than 520/521 and roadster. They are also deeper. I know this because I have one hanging on the wall of my shop next to a 521 cap. Link to comment
