Paul, your link doesn't work but THIS one should.
Have you tried these? Not all baby moons will fit trailer wheels. I bought a couple from a local "hubcap" dealer that were marked as 8" only to later discover that they actually measured 7 1/2" and didn't come close to fitting.

Paul, One thing to watch out for with moon hubcaps is that they are chromed stainless steel, instead of chromed steel.
In some climates chromed steel may hold-up fine, but near the ocean or in the snowbelt where salt & chemicals are encountered, stainless is the way to go.
I had a set of steel ones and after 2 years I tossed them 'cause I couldn't get the rust and pits to buff out, even using steel wool.
Just a thought ('depends greatly on climate) as I live in the midwest and we have snow/ice which brings out the "salt-shaker" trucks.

The original cap on my 1965 is a cone shaped baby moon. I have seen many round caps but have not had any luck finding the cone shape.
For a round shape go to page 31 of:

I have heard that the Dexter Moon Hubcaps, pn 016-260-00 is the correct part, but have not found a picture to verify.
Let us know what you find.

Keith
