Has anyone found a suitable replacement center wheel cap that will fit the above or is it a "make them yourself" job?

I got a set from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Allaggro-Old-Car-Accessor... last year. They don't always list them but I'm sure if you email them they'll have some or make you some. If I remember correctly they were £9.99 for 4. They also had TVR England logo that was on my original set.

I think these are the same as in the previous post, and the design is the closest I've seen to the original badges.

Unfortunately they are not hard plastic caps but can be applied over old caps, don't know whether you could get away just sticking these on to the wheels.

PS The original wheel caps have a diameter of 68mm.

Andy,

I think that I sourced mine from classic capsule. They're great but as Mike says, they're not as hard plastic as the original items.

They are sticky backed and if you specify the correct diameter they will sit on the flat of the wheel over the centre hole. Having placed them in situ, I spayed contact adhesive in through the back of the wheel to provide a stronger bond and better seal. However, one badge reacted to the cold temperature of the aerosol and lost it's shape. The supplier was very good and sent me a replacement, but best not to use spray glue.

While we're on the subject of badges... how big is the stick-on TVR badge that goes to the left of the rear No. plate?

75mm long 37.5mm deep, but are unobtainable unless someone knows otherwise.

Mike, I have been after one of the TVR england rear badges too.
The body badges look OK on the site but my original Vixen and S3 badges are green, not black. Are the vixen badges green on all models?

I believe they are Paul, but cannot be certain.

Someone like Adrian or Steve Reid could tell you for sure.

I can only really tell you about the TVR England badge on my 1971 Tuscan V6, and that is definitely green .... along with the car .tongue outwink

If you don't like to glue the nice TVR badges directly on the alloys try a set of this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MGB-MGBGT-Rostyle-Wheel-Cent...

They fit the finned alloys very well and they look great with the TVR- instead of the MG-Logo
