Late production 23d series did indeed use the smaller 51-53 styled caps that Don pictured. Not sure when that started but there is a picture of an Eight with them in one of the dealer training booklets. That wasn't the topic of the booklet which might have been Ultramatic or...??

Anyway, those cars would have the three nibs as you show. as there was no need for clips.

Thank you. I will post a picture of the spare tire .. I’m pretty sure it’s all original… if not someone a long time ago went to a lot of trouble to use the later caps…. I think I’ll try to find the 51-later caps…

There are quite a few on eBay at the moment but I just sold my last good set a couple weeks ago.
