This is the part number of the center caps. DTC000150MNH

They are actually 57mm.

Rimmers seem to be out of stock.

Don't seem to be any on Ebay at the moment.

Put an advert in the "wanted" section, get some second hand ones, re-paint them and then get some new badges from "Jezzer 1"

Not many of them about now. worst case scenario, get hold of some MG ones ( plenty of 57 mm ones about ) and have a go at converting them

Well I measured these twice with my tape and they came out at 56mm. Put a vernier caliper on them and they are indeed 57mm as Duotone says. Apologies Bigbird. (Shoulda gone to Specsavers) I have a set of Forks to fit once the tyres on the Crowns have worn out. The Crowns will be a 'freebie' mefinks 'cos I dont really like them. I'm gonna need new centre caps for my Forks too.
