Hairpin alloys - advice needed

[Arctic]

Hi Andreas.
I was correct (DTC10014MNH) are the same as DTC10017XXX

They arrived today and look what is on the rear of the centre.

I went out side and tried them on the spare star spokes I have which will use the same centres as the hairpins.
The centre would not push in a the little peg on the rear stops it from being pushed home.

Cut the little peg of flush with an hot knife.

5

Tried it again in the wheel, it pushes home with the little peg removed
6

As you can see from these photos it does not sit flush into the recess of the wheel, it is proud.
7

Even though it sits proud, the centre fits tightly into the wheel, therefore if these could be machined down they would do the job nicely.
8

You could always leave them sitting proud on the wheel
9

Maybe worth a punt if you could get them machined or are happy to have them fitted with out any modification.

They’re definitely the 57mm ones and I have a set of the Rover ones but unfortunately they’re in storage in Spain. I got them from an ex-MGR dealer in Gloucestershire. I’ll try and work out which one it was!

The part number is DTC100150.

Steve, thank you very much for your advice. I will report as soon as the hairpins and the caps arrived.

But DTC000150 is with "MG". I need specimens with the MK1-Roverlogo.

Yup. As per Arctic post 12 on here rear of the cap says "rover DTC000150" however I am aware it says the same on the MG centre.
I suppose the answer is in the description of the item for sale Very confusing

Hi Andreas.
Dave is correct its in the description on the rear of the badge, as the same size with different emblems will fit different cars as below.

Mini Silver DTC100680 MNH.

Mini White DTC100680 NNX.

MG Silver DTC000090.

Rover CAP DTC000150XXX.

Easy way out

[Arctic]

Hi Dave.
all the fun is taken out of the equation then, no problem solving only how to adhere some badges, we want to find the best way to machine down the 60mm centre in our sheds your idea of a hole cutter fixed outer of the fixing pegs sounds good, or even in side the pegs taped on or cable tied on, fit into a fast speed drill and sand down

My apologies. DTC000150XXX is right and I was wrong.
