Title: C5 CENTRE CAPS
Post by: C5 ENTHUSIAST + RESTORER on 29, June, 2011 - 17:35:33
Hi all had a little time on my hands so decided to make some centre caps . As you can see they look OK .The only thing is the 3 screws holding them on ,but it's the only way I could do it , but unlike the original ones you would not loose these ones .. (The screws are chrome plated brass so no rust )

The first is the original

As you can see I have not used an old Centre cap ...

I know you are good Chas, but I can't spot the difference, the two pictures are the same aren't they ?

Retro Andy.

Hi Chas,

just a thought.

If you glue a small piece of tin plate on the rear of the covers you could then just place a neodymium magnet on the extremity of the axle,  this way you can do away with the screws.  ;)  These magnets are readily available, in all shapes and forms, in the IN.

Whatever happens only use a small magnet otherwise you'll never get the cap off.   ;D

Cheers.  KarlG
