I seem to be able to break these things without trying but I do have a set of the plastic tools they use to remove them. I know that they wouldn't be available here in Darwin so where have people source these rivets/clips from ?


Thanks and Cheers Ean

I bought 20 of them from ebay for not much at all - about $8 from an Australian seller

Part no for clips is ANR2224. Come in a pack of 5 but I don't remember where I sourced them except it was local (Aus).

Supercrapp or Repco Ean.
They should have a couple of rotating displays with all that sort of clip on.

Thanks for the replies, does anyone have a picture of 1 so I know which sort to get.


I will remove 1 if I have to but thought it was worth asking.


Cheers Ean

I had a look on ebay , can only see 1 seller from UK the rest of the sellers are from china. Surely someone in Australia sells them.


Cheers Ean

This should be them, from Ebay

That's definitely the little buggers. I broke all four when I did my hose replacement. It took me longer to cable tie the wheel cover back together than it did the hose repair.

I didn't know they were something so easily replaceable from the supermob group. Will get some now. From memory the landrover ones came in two sections, but those look like they would do the same job.

The ones pictured are 2 pieces..
