Hub Caps?

Hi Kelsey, did you manage to sort a hubcap yet? i will look tomorrow as i may have a few spare. do you have a picture of the sort you want. if they are the same as the ones commerchris had on Ran the van, you can have for postage cost. Gary

Yes they definitely safely do fit you just have to pinch the edges out a tiny bit where the hub cap fits over the studs on the wheel and they hold on great i have fitted some to my pick up to try it as you always loose them and £75 is alot to loose as you can only buy the genuine ones in sets of 4

I tried one of the baby moons on a 15" wheel and they don't fit

Thanks for the replies guys. I am confused now though if they fit Jon's but not Moley's wheels [xx(] Are you running 14s or 15s Jon?
 
Im running 14inch wheels but i have took some off my 15inch wheels on my other commer and they fit the 14s.They dont just clip straight on you have to slightly bend the lip where the lugs on the wheels are.Ive fitted some trust me!!lol They need to be the ones for the early bay and split screen ;)
 
I tell you what ive got one up the garage with vw on it i will put pic on here with it fitted to the wheel! lol;)

Cool thanks!! The other reason I asked was because I tried fitting the hubcap from my Splitty and there was no way that it was going to fit as it's got an inner flange which fouls the retainers. I suppose the baby moons must haven't this??
 
Brilliant thanks!:D Hard to tell when I'm not at home, but I think backs of mine do differ - I'll get the tape measure out when I get back. Cheers [8D]
 
I measured mine up and they're rougly the same measurements as yours in the picture and the Commer originals... maybe I'm not as tough as you as there was no way my one was going on the Commer wheel! [}:)]

I might just bite the bullet and get a set of the pricey original hub caps... I know baby moons are only really intended for summer use because of how they're plated, so might be a false economy in the long run? Decisions decisions.

If there is enough demand here I will have them made, the tooling is not that different from a couple of others I already produce.

Cheers
