Do you have any idea when it came off? I don't mean the exact place obviously, but say it happened on the way to tesco or similar you could see if it's by the side of the road :undecided:

Unfortunately it came off somewhere between Bath and Somerton!! So its rather a long way to have to look out for a centre cap!

None of this Tescos lark!

The centre caps are about 6" diameter and the nut bit in the middle is about 3.5" diameter. Biggest problem is that the thread it goes onto sticks out.


Thats a good link though, cheers bratty, I will contact him see if he can help :smiley:

take one of the other centre caps off, find a part number then paste into google. Works more often than you'ld think.

Failing that, take a wheel off and look for manufacturers stamps or part no's. then try from them.

Going one stage further, why not take one of the caps off, and get a replacement machined from a lump of metal/alloy?

May not cost as much as you think.....


Just a thought :)

True - but it's in the right direction. :)
Maybe even an opportunity to upgrade/renovate/improve etc...

Just a thought :)
