Hello all,

Any one know somewhere easy to get hold of them? Have drawn a blank with B'pool. I had the factory wheel / tyre upgrades and the 'logo plates' that cover the hubs have gone AWOL.

Thanks Paddy

Me too. My front hubcaps lasted about three months. I think the upgraded front brakes are creating too much heat. I found one hubcap on my driveway but couldn't refit it because the plastic clips had melted.

Edited to add. I did manage to get a new set out of TVR factory stores.

The factory got back to me to say they are available from any dealer at £7.70 ... but the voicemail implied that the logo is a COST EXTRA!!!

The caps do not have logos on them. You need to buy the logos separately. Loads for sale on e-bay

I must be at cross purposes -- the two still on (and the originals) had the TVR letter logo on them -- I guess I'll have to go down to a dreaded dealer.

I got ours for the OZ's from auto-motif. Not sure if they are still on the web though.
They were the black domed affair with TVR logo (around 65mm diamater). I specced gold TVR logo but you can pretty much have any logo or background colour - from memory the 4 were less than £20 - bargain. Failing that get in touch with jonh on here.

What a timely post. I need some centres for my new OZ's. It does indeed look like the auto-motif website has expired, but who is the John you are refering to FFG?

One of mine disappeared recently. Got a replacement from David Gerald's in Inkberrow over the counter, no problem at all.

I know this is being lazy, but has anyone ever sourced replacement retaining bolts for the OZ wheel centre caps?

Matt,
Sorry about the delay - I have been off poorly sick and then on holiday.
jonh is jonathon hughes - he is jonh on here or certainly was - and is a graphic design chappy. He had pink background on his Griff (yes, the car was pink and he's got a Cerb now).
Good luck with the OZ bolts - you've got no fooking chance - as I found out. Got some made by brazing a stainless bar section with a hole in it onto a bolt (looks better too).

I presume your talking about the little bolts on the griff wheels? Leven used to do a set of stainless steel ones. I think they still do them.

I think the ones you mean ads are for the 7 spoke estorils, not the earlier OZ split rims...unless you want to make me extremely happy by telling me otherwise of course....

Do you happen to know what size the bolt is FFG?

A bit of digging around the RS Components site has turned up these...

http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/rswww/rangeAction.do?catoid=-1600752693&cacheID=uknetscape

but how do I know which size to order? I have two original bolts, but how do I measure them? Is it just the diameter, or do I have to do some funky measurement of the thread? Anyone?

Has anyone figured out how to prevent the clear plastic dome separating from the TVR logo on the metal backing? I have the logo's but the clear plastic which makes the cap look like it's enamelled dropped off ages ago! Rich...
