Wheel centre caps

[MADNESS]

I have a set of cerbera wheels in my shed, can you still get the centre caps for them anyone know?

[TwinKam]

Yes

That linky is just for the TVR stickers for RL7's (which weren't right for mine as they look to be domed resin style, mine had flat ally backed ones).
I don't think you can get the actual centre caps any longer (or at least I couldn't find any).

[MADNESS]

That's just what I was thinking, shame that as the wheels are like new, no good without centre caps though .

I bought a set of RL's a few years ago from a TVR specialist for a hefty price (correct front and backs) and then when they arrived they didnt have the centre caps.

I called them and they had some but they were for sale separately for an eye watering amount in comparison.

When I had my wheels last month I ended up buying the domed resin badges above as it was impossible to find the flat metallic discs. I will continue to look and swap them out if I can find some, but its been a 2 year hunt so far.....

Good luck with your hunt, but I suspect it will be a very difficult one.

If you could find someone to replicate them I would be happy to give you one of mine.....

Anyone got a photo of the part which was fitted from new, we have some people who may be able to make some.

When I got my set of RL7s I only had 3 of the original caps. I bought some universal plastic centre caps and resin stickers off eBay and used them on the front wheels. They look just as good, only difference is that they sit flush in the wheel. I had to use the originals on the rear as the flush plastic ones get pushed out by the center of the hub.

Mine look like the ones in the TVR Parts linky

I had a spare set of 4, have let a couple go over the years to people who have lost one, keeping the last two as they now seem like they are rare.
I think at the time (9-10 years ago) they cost me £20 from one of the breakers

type TVR centre caps into Ebay. Someone makes some stick on ones. I put them on mine 6 years ago and they are as good as new.

I think he wants the whole aluminium ones.

Although - could someone 3d print some?

I'm going to need the whole thing, all I have is the basic wheel rims.

It's worth using a screwdriver and a mallet to increase the indent in the cap if it's even slightly lose. They do seem to fall out quite easily otherwise.

Check out the breakers for their costs I guess

Fit no bother and they haven't fell out yet.
