Wheel bearing caps

[Jonny weggie]

Hi Guy's
Does anyone know the size of the wheel bearing cap on a 89 S2, front wheels.
And where is the best place to get them.
Thank you in advance for any answers.

Are you looking for the bearing dust cover, or the plastic TVR-branded trim that fits in the center of the wheel?

Sorry meant to say dust covers.

Couple of old posts here but I think you'll be lucky to find any stock at a Ford dealership.


You could try TVR Parts


i made a pair of replacements from aerosol can tops

Are we talking about the dust shields that sit behind the alloy? If so I'm pretty sure I have the ones I taken off my S stashed away somewhere

As I understand it, the question is about spindle dust caps rather than the brake dust shields that I think you're referring to. I don't know what size dust cap is needed but I suppose that places selling aftermarket bearings might know - or perhaps you could measure the hub up and work that out for yourself. At the end of the day it just has to press in and not fall out and it doesn't much matter what you use.

GreenV8S -- Normally I would have checked this out myself but I am trying to help my brother with his S who is currently on holiday in the Falmouth area, not being mechanical minded and coming home on Mon I thought I would try and help him out, so was trying to get answers before he came home as we are still on holiday as well.
Once we're back I'll be able to look into it more.
