Original Yenko Torque Thrust Wheel Size/Back Spacing

[Supercar_Kid]

Bill, I have a set of American Torq Thrusts (straight rounded spokes) that were purchased new in 1969, and they had plastic caps on them since day one. Even had their flat head, bare steel screws still holding them on. It's entirely possible that metal caps were available separately, but there's no shame in running the "new" plastic caps on your D spokes, they're as era correct as the wheels themselves. Both Yenko's Atlas mags, and International Dragmasters came new with metal caps, but American Racing has been using plastic caps on their Torq Thrusts since at least the late 60's.
