Thread: 1954 Royal Review 47160049

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.

Hi Keith

Have you one of those pips/tits as a sample?
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.

G,day Arthur. I dont have one but I guess they look like a grease nipple.
If I had a drawing I could turn them up on the lathe. I could try the spacing out on an old rusty wheel til I got the tension right before drilling a good wheel.
Johns is a cyclops, so funny some had pips and others had the pressing.

That must be them. Funny. I googled that number and nothing like that came up.
Talking of rivets I am after the 3/16 pop rivets to do the outside of the capping. All ours seem to have a 3/8 head when all the original rivets have a 5/16 head. They are available from Bob Jones on LRSOC but I was wondering what others here have done.

I can measure those posts ( my word) and make up a drawing for you if that sellers site draws a blank.
I googled Rover 562957 to find about four sites, three of which, returned that the parts were listed but out of stock, that included 'Rimmers' as well, they still might be worth a call to see if they can get more stock in.

Here is a link to a typical site.

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.
