    Does anyone know what these might fit? Was hoping to run them on my 40 merc. Opening is about 7 1/4".... Also anyone want to trade for a set that fit 40 ford / merc wheels?

    why dont you cut the back mounting part off a pair of dented up 40 to 48 ford caps and tack weld to the back of yours,done it a few times ,it works very well.
    you can grind around the crimp on the 41 to 48 style to release the back,but you have to cut the 40 style.

    That is totally what I've been thinking. Thanks for the reply! I'll look around for a junk 41-48 style cap.

    I got a pair of nationals on my 36. found them still in the orignal box at a swap meet. I had to redo them to fit a forty ford wheel. Was'nt that hard to do.
