Replacement centre cap retaining screws Oz Split Rims...

[Hoover.]

anyone using a different retaing screw for the centre cap..... if so what is it off, how well does it fit.

or do I need to go and get some machined, as I've just totally mullered mine getting them off with a center punch and hammer

Won't an ordinary stainless Allen headed bolt do the job??

probably will do the job, but I'm guessing it will be counter sunk to the wheel face as the orginal bolt head has 5mm deep head with a further 3mm counter sunk section before it hits the thread

Anyone using MG RV8 fittings.... wheels look v similar with simlar way of attachiing center section...(unlike the BBS fittings)

I'll pop upto Baldock tomorrow to MG restoration place and see.

Thats what we've got with a piece of stainless round bar brazed on with a hole in the middle so its flush with the cap.
