![]() I have got straights under my 75 tourer and I wont to have rover centre caps.
I bought on ebay centre caps but they wont fit, the clipping mechanism is not deep enough. So here is a photo shoot of how to adapt them. You can see the difference in hight its 12 mm ![]() First you remove the badge with gentle force from the rear. ![]() ![]() Then you mark the clips with the caps ![]() Drill three holes 2.5 mm through the clips and caps. And then increase them to 4.8 mm holes (can be done at once but better safe then sorry!) ![]() ![]() Now you have to remove the clip from the cap i used a stepped drill but you can use a file as well its soft aluminum. ![]() ![]() Countersunk the holes in the cap ![]() Install three countersunk bolts with 12 mm spacers between the clip and the cap. ![]() ![]() if you place the mg centre cap now next to the modified one you see there is now no difference in hight. ![]() And the final result!! ![]() ![]() I know the the new type rover caps with the new type badge fit witout any modifications. See my old 45 with straights; ![]()
