Another option is to fit after market flanges with screw caps . The only problem is they cost a lot more than plastic cap . I remember being in a servo in Makay getting fuel and noticed I had one cracked and leaking , anyway there was a Land Rover dealership across the road . Popped in and asked do you have hub cap for 86 110 ? No sorry we don't carry them , but can order them in for you . That was quite a few years ago !!.. Jim
We have a local Landrover dealer here (Dubbo). In the interests of supporting local suppliers I have occasionally tried to get parts from them - I have yet to find a single part that they stock - they don't even stock filters for my cars; there are multiple outlets here that do though (and probably cheaper! Which may explain why the dealer doesn't).Quote:

I think you can get them cheeper than $ 120 each on E bay , . but they are still a lot more than the plastic caps ? Jim :)Quote:

Interesting that it states that the 'original plastic caps can be used if required'.

I bought 2 new caps from austral landrover in brisbane for $8 each, One of mine on the front was leaking a little, because it was old and cracked. Its probably been on there 5 or 6 years , I remember last time they cost only $5.my hubs are oil filled, I don't see the issue, they're cheap and do the job. I'm happy to carry a couple of spares in case one leaks or gets knocked off in the bush. They're easy to get on an off, if you don't have oil filled hubs , you can put a little grease in them and protect your flanges and drive shafts from fretting damage. cheers simmo
