ash,


Dont know about the wheels they look like standard 12,s but deeper,but if it helps i know early morris minor hubcaps fit 12 inch standard rims,so im guessing thats what the hubcaps are?

this kinda thing before they started stamping "M" in the middle :dozing:

They look like banded standard Rover 12" wheels.

You could make any hubcap to fit by fitting clamps to the wheels.
Bit of imagination and creativity, a drill, some bolts and machined poly bobbles...
Pretty much straight forward =]

Morris, Austin-Healey, VW Beetle - I think there are multiple possibilities :ermm:

Jan

The 12 inch hubcaps have hands that stick out and grab on to the holes in the wheel. At least mine was like that.

I don't know if (not positive) the 12 and 10 hubcaps are the same size, you better check which ones you are buying first.
