Weller Centre Caps

[AlanN]

you'd prolly be better off with nylocks - even non stainless ones on the back - just paint over them they'd never come loose

Guess what, they didnt do M4 nylocks in stainless the young, but very pretty girl said they maybe in the next catalogue coming out soon... I did think of using the BZP ones and then I thought about rust, paint them, why didnt I think of that and they are only a £1.05 x100

If you do come across anything to use as cerntrecaps, let me know- I have a set of wheels the same as these with no centres

I havent tried to many places yet, but I will put a bit more effort into it next week. I looked at some landrovers and shoguns and both have a similar sized centre. I have measured the ones I have got and they are 122mm accross.

[AlanN]

Has anyone got any idea whats wrong with the paint???

[captain hook]

Yeah....Celly don't go over acrylic primer...

[AlanN]

Yeah....Celly don't go over acrylic primer...

Going to clean them off again tomorrow and start all over. I thought it might be greese or something, but I check the paint this time, might even get the guy in the next unit at work paint them.

[captain hook]

I've got some Diamond white!

I have tried to ring them today with no answer, I will try again tomorrow...

I know what the wheels will look like white... and I was going to spray them with chrome wheel paint, until I noticed it said you cannot lacquerer or varnish it after, so what is the best silver to spray them with? something a bit chrome-ish, a bit of bling

Hi Luke, I measured accross the hole at 122mm +/-1mm. Im not sure how deep 75mm!

[Luke]

i'll check them tomorrow

[AlanN]

Nice one dude

[Luke]

i'm afraid they are too small 80mm across shame really as they look the part, and there stainless

if you still want em you can have em but they would need some sort of plate to make the gap up

[AlanN]

They could be a good starting point, maybe a large flat washer affair welded on!!!! or something!!!
How much do you think the postage is Luke, are they heavy?
