Wheel Centres

[elwood]

Anyone know a supplier of new plastic centre caps for the pre cat 5 spoke wheels?

TVR POwer have rights to all Griff/Chim parts so I'd try them first - 02476 366177.

Simon,
Long time no hear - coming to the Growl?
Also, could you help with the bonnet stay, ie where you go the bits, how to put them together etc.

I don't know what it's from but it's not a 5 spoke Pre Cat wheel.

Funnily enough, mine arrived this week from TVR Power and they don't fit either. I've also got 5 spoke pre-cat wheels and the ones I got sent from TVR Power are slightly smaller than the ones i've already got installed on the front....

This sort of thing does my head in yes sir we have some pre cat wheel centers got mine today and they are the wrong ones like the rest of you.To good to be true I should of known,but you would of thought someone like TVR POWER would know what a pre cat wheel centre LOOKED LIKED

Simon,
It's me posting on mrs FFG's machine.
Yes, going to Chatsworth so hope to see you there. Ian Barrett's looking to do the same but going very slowly so maybe you can fill in the gaps.

On the subject of the wheel centres, can't really help other than the black discs with the TVR logo are easy to get - the plastic bit they fit into obviously not - I'll speak to the guys when we're next down at Power (Griff booked in on the 18th).

Chris my S3 (hint) needs some new ones so I'll buy them off you unless you want to use them as castor cups under your sofa
Mail me offline if you do.

I also have 4 new wheel centres that I do not need. They are the same as the photo. I just need the metal stick on TVR logo for the 5 spoke wheels on a 92 pre-cat Griff. Any ideas where I can get them from?

The stick on bit is just the logo under a resin dome. I got ours from auto motif but I can't access their site now so not sure if they've gone or not. If they are still there you can change the background or logo colour, and they were less than £20 for the 4.

I just spoke to Andy@TVR Power and he called the factory for me - they say these parts (for the pre-cat 5 spoke wheels) are no longer available.....time for plan B (whatever that is)
