Not keen on the bolt being proud for two reasons, the first being the aesthetics as I just like the look of them being flush and secondly someone could get a chisel to the bolt head to wack the cover off to get at the wheel nuts.
It's an Allen key hole... why use a chisel ?... If they have the stuff to get the wheels off.. Jack / correct nut socket / extension / etc might they not have an Allen key also ![rolleyes](/inc/images/rolleyes.gif)
Anyway.. no problem... I can C/sink them as big as you like... but it just give you a knife edge on the back as it will go thru to the other side.... thats the only reason I used a smaller one...

Can you get them countersunk like the OP's were going to be so that the fixing bolt is flush?
Interested in a set if you can.![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
Well spotted! I'd also prefer to have the fixing bolts countersunk, like the originals, as I still use the original bolts and it does look better flush IMHO.Interested in a set if you can.

So you can't use these anyway... the only way to do this would be to C/bore the recess in but this would require a boss on the back to go into... which in turn means the backs of the discs need milling and not turning as they are now...

Apart from that I just like the flush look and we are obsensivly talking about a visual trim and effect.

What is the reverse side like? Is there not a 'collar' like the originals to take the fixing bolt?
Its like the OP's.. with a spacer you put on the bolt... fully turned at the back so no boss...V8 GRF said:

It wasn't clear from your answer to me if it was possible to have flush bolts, if it is then I'm in and I'd want them sized for paint please. ;-)just 1 more set required then and I'll get it done.....

Anyway.. still 1 set short... John
Hi, I'm interested in a set of these as one of my original centres fell off and the others are a bit tatty. Will have a set as long as they are a good match to original wheel colour and easy to fit. Do you get the centre badges from Clever Trevor and are they just stuck on? Will there be a carriage charge, if so do you know how much? Thanks Chris
