Griff 500: 7 spoke Estoril Centres - Need some!

[wedgienauld]

I've had reason to take the wheels off my Griff and in the proces my young Labrador as eaten one of the centre sections, (the part with the TVR logo, attached with a puzzle key lock) - Labradors will eat just about anything... Does anyone have a spare/ spares, or know where I can get one? To be honest all them are cracked anyway; although I might be able to fettle the cracks with araldite, the half eaten one is a write off!!

The centre caps are now very hard to find. Checkout this thread www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=9&t=345890 where 'pxwheels' mentioned that they might set up some tooling to manufacture some.

thanks for the replies guys - Bell said that they don,nt have any, (they appear to retain what they have for sale with their wheels - and who can blame them). I await a reply from the chappie who may be considering manufacturing replacements. In the meantime I intend to purchase a motor cycle plastic repair kit, some modelling card and make my own - so there...

Had one centre missing and the rest seemed to have cracked around bolt hole, when I bought the car!

Just received a new set of plastic centres for my Griffith 500 off e-bay, I thought they had stopped making them some time ago. They fit perfectly and came with badges, just got to get them painted!!!

Now the car will be ready for the good weather!!!!

.... yep monitored them as they were going through. Glad you got what you wanted. I note you had one missing anyway. I have repaired my with the aid of a repair kit aimed at motorcycle fairing repairs and some plastic modelling card - sounds shite - but it's worked out well.
