I need to find a source for the nylon bushings that press into the three holes in the wheel, into which the screws for the center cap thread in to secure the cap to the wheel. My steel wheels are 15" OEM Ford Ranger steel wheels. The only bushings I have found are designed for the OEM alloy wheels, and they don't work on the factory steel wheels. I considered filling the holes in the wheels with JB Weld and then drilling them and tapping them for the center cap screws, but the JB Weld approach will be my last resort if I can't find the Ford OEM or aftermarket nylon bushings. Can anybody point me to a source for these bushings?

Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
My older steelies, which are the same as your picture, used steel clips, for the 3 cap screws, that pressed into the holes. This is a pic I got off eBay some time ago:

Thanks. I found a potential online vendor. You have to email them to ask about inventory and price. Seems odd that these don't seem to exist on Amazon or ebay (there is an ebay listing but the vendor has none in stock). Looks lke this little clip/nut is the solution, so let the hunt begin.
