JACK FLASH Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Last year I bought 4 "new old stock" centre caps at the stand of QED in Norfolk during the 50th Anniversary. I was hoping that these centre caps should fit the KN Jupiter alloys (yes laugh please if you must) but unfortunately the diameter is a little bit too small. They fit but not as it should be. According to Redline these are centre caps for "real" Minilites and indeed they fit perfectly on them. Perhaps they' ll also fit on copy Minilites (Superlite, ...) but I am not sure about that. The centre caps are in highly polished alumininium, almost chrome finish and I ask 10.00 GBP, the price I paid for them, + P&P. Jack Flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK FLASH Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 1st dibs for Paul, 2nd dibs for Strongy. I' ll take some pictures this evening and take all measurements. They fit certainly on Minilites because we took the test at Redline; I do not know about Gates wheels. How do they look by the way ? If you blatmail me, I can mail you both the pictures.

JACK FLASH Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 1st dibs for Paul, 2nd dibs for Strongy, 3rd dibs for Grubbster The measurements of these centre caps are : - max. outer diameter = 70 mm (part fits at the backside of the wheel) - rim = between 2.5 and 3 mm - outer diameter = between 65 and 64 mm (70 - 2 x 2.5 / 3) (part fits in the centre opening of the wheel) - min. outer diameter = 55 mm The diameter of 65 / 64 mm decreases slowly to the front diameter of 55 mm. I hope my explanation and measurements are clear. Take also a look at the pictures that have been sent. Looking forward to hearing something. Since the items are very light, postage costs will stay quite low. Jack Flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Jack Thank for the email, just checked my wheels (They are K&N Minators) not minilites those caps are too large for this rim, centre hole is 55mm. Thanks anyway. Tim Dry-sumped White Supersprint Webshots here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK FLASH Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Paul, they are yours. We' ll deal with the total costs and payment through BlatMail. Strongy and Grubster, perhaps you can work something out with Tweeky. I think he must have centre caps for KN Minator wheels. Jack Falsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
