Hi Keith , How did you go with John Bradshaw yesterday , did you sought the wheels & hub caps out & anything else ? Wayne
Hi Wayne. John bought up his P4 wheel and a hubcap. The cap is the same as the one I have but the car wheel has built in cap retainers not pips. John said look in the optional equipment catalogue so I looked in the 1973 one, nothing, 1975, nothing, then 1981 RTC 9842CB has pips available as pt no 562957. Googled that but no helpfull hits. Nothing on Dunsfold or Craddocks either. Anyway should not be hard to make.

I do have a set of Rover 75 wheels that have their caps and pips.
I could show them to a friend who is a fitter and turner.

Johns is a cyclops, so funny some had pips and others had the pressing.

I can measure those posts ( my word) and make up a drawing for you if that sellers site draws a blank.Quote:

Here is a link to a typical site.Quote:

F911 Bolts Chrome Bolts, Stainless Steel Bolts, Metric Bolts, Socket Head Cap Screws, Grade 8 Bolts
While I see that the critical measurements are shown, the head thickness and diameter isn't shown, although most of these sites do invite you to contact them if there is any inquiries.
There is a good picture of the different body styles in this site.
POP Rivets | Blind Rivets | Rivets | Rivet Nuts | Riveting Tools | Rivet Setting Tool

Hi Keith , Give Bolt Masters a call about the rivets i found them very helpful when i was after the solid rivets for my door caps . The guy I was talking was about my age ( old) & knew what he was talking about & they posted them the next day. There number is 33992488. Those solid rivets i got from them worked well once I got the air pressure right on the air hammer' I've got a air hammer here with the shaft machined to fit the dome of the rivets if you want to borrow it , beats titing them with a hammer & punch.
