May not be the right location for this thread, but my searches have come up empty. Maybe sometime RVLife will enhance their search engine.

I have a 2007 Freightliner chassis and Winnebago installed wheel simulators all around over the original steel wheels.

Each simulator has two jambnuts with chrome covers that are used to hold the simulators in position.

As happens over time eventually the chrome covers start to work loose off of the jamb nut. I have been searching for awhile and have even ordered the wrong parts from Amazon.

Does anyone have a good resource for these parts, I will e-mail Winnebago parts but hate to see what they are asking for these items.

Are your simulators from Dicor ; photo below of their decal in center of cap.

If so , then this site

www.phoenixusa.com/simulator-parts.

Dicor no longer supports their product , and they used several different retainers .

I have tried Phoenix and they keep sending me jamb nuts and covers for an E450, not the larger freightliner wheel set.

Maybe I will just call them.

I'd say give them a call with a measurement of the retainer nut ,

I found what I needed at Pacific Dualies. Was awning to order one set for $14 but at checkout they wanted $39 shipping. That is nuts, and I told them so. They wrote back and said they were struggling with fair prices to ship small items. I suggested the fixed rate boxes the USPS offers but they never responded back.

I ended up getting some epoxy glue and carefully glue the chrome covers onto the jamb nuts. All is well again.
