Hub Cap centres

Postby Rifleman » Sun Jun 11, 2006 9:48 am

Does anyone know how much or if its still possible to get those neat little centre caps that go over the end of the axle and protrood trough the road wheel, they have various names, centre bosses, spinners, axle caps etc, but basically they are little grey caps with a ford logo on that stick out of the centre of transit wheels if you dont use hubcaps, I need 4.

Theres no reason they wouldnt fit a 'Smiley' even though they are for the MK6, the PCD is the same and they are held ob by the wheel nut covers :D

Ok Now you are putting doubt in my mind :?

I took a set off a MK4 some time ago and the centre cap just 'trapped' in between the nut covers, if you left the covers off they would fall off.... I'm just assuming they are the same......perhaps I shouldnt :(

The ones linked to look the same as the MK5 ones even though they say MK6 but then that's Fords for you as I wanted some of these a while back and was told that they weren't made for my Transit anymore...shame the parts desk guy didn't know that the later Transit appears to use the same part, definately a case of 'the screen says not available' so the screen must be right :roll:
After the parts desk fiasco I did see MK6's with the part I wanted but by that time I had found some in a breakers, which was lucky but then only because someone had removed the hub covers plus the nut covers and thrown them into the van :)

Centre caps look the same :D BUT the nut covers are probably bigger as the MK6 has larger nuts :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

exactly right the nut covers will be too big but the centres will go straight on - I'm sure the five little holes they "plug" into are the same :D
