Can You Help Crack the Mystery?
Crazy thing is, this hub actually has three different numbers on it — something I’ve never seen before.
First thought? Misprint. But the more I looked at it, the more I’m convinced it’s not. None of the numbers match anything in the four Momo hub lists I have from different eras.
Here’s the breakdown:
-
C usually stands for short and L for long — so far, so good.
-
Plymouth? Ruled that out pretty quickly. Plymouth hubs usually have numbers like 3602, 6101, 6105, or 6106.
-
2908? Nothing even remotely close in the Momo world. No known part numbers starting with 290.
-
3605? Closest would be Dodge (’66–’67, all models), but even that would be 3601, not 3605.
-
7601? Again, absolutely nothing. No Momo hubs start with 760.
Of course, all of this is based on Momo hubs that were officially sold at some point — and my data runs up to around 2005.
There’s always a chance it’s some prototype, a dealership special, or a later modification that never made it onto the “official” lists.
Usually, when the back of the hub and the horn contact ring look familiar, it triggers some kind of memory. Not this time. No bells ringing. No half-forgotten cross-references. Nothing.
So this time, I couldn’t help — other than pointing the guy toward someone who might have a clue.
If you happen to see this and can shed some light, please reach out. I’ll post your insights and pass them along to the person who asked.
