@chev0545 Do you have a blackhood C161 or the long narrow hood model?

Early 79 was the long narrow hood, later was the blackhood.

Early 79 was the long narrow hood, later was the blackhood.

Here is a 1978 black hood.  I have a brochure somewhere. I’ll try to see if it shows any hubcap options.

Believe it was the 1978 and 1979 "Twin" cylinder models using B&S engines that got the black hoods and were they not made of fiberglass?

I do not know if these are original hubcaps for the year but I put these on my C-161

I looked at one just as you mentioned, with the Twin B&S and all fiberglass, not sure of the year. The kid that was selling it didn't know much about it, it was his late father's. It was buried in a bunch of mostly junk. He was supposed to call me when he got it out, that was six months ago.

@chev0545, I looked in my 1978 brochure and it didn’t show any hubcaps for that year, even in the Accessories section of the brochure. I would think the ones D-MAC shows above would be correct for that time period, though.

The twin cylinders did have the fiberglass hood to provide the clearance necessary.
