Lotus/7/Cat emblems for wheel caps or .....

[DB6]

I have located some push in aluminum wheel caps for the 13 inch "Jupiter " wheels( that were popular with Catreham in the 80,via a Birkin dealer.

The wheel center hole diameter is 2 and 3/8 inch, I have bought some old generic aluminum caps that should fit ( the originals seem to be un-obtainable) and am looking for some emblems to stick in the middle of the caps to finish them off.

There are quite a few on ebay UK (resin with 3M sticky tape on the back in all colours), BUT I need 1 1/2 min to 1 and 5/8 inch max, set of 4.Any ideas?Pref would be the original green and yellow Chapman Lotus logo as that is what is in the nose and steering wheel.

Or if any one know of any caps that would slide into a 2 and 3/8 hole let me know, the originals were slid in from the rear and held in place b the wheel and the cap's lip as it was seated, the ones I have are push in, or should I say hammer the crap out of with grease and a block of wood,lol.

 

Thanks a lot.

Give Ben at RMSC a call. The stick on emblems for the 13" Motorsport wheels are 1-9/16" in diameter.

I purchased some Lotus badges on ebay that snapped in the caps that were on my Birkin wheels. This was after I had a friend cut the proper size hole in them. I also found a nose badge that I replaced the Birkin badge with. My care is titled as an 67 Lotus. I didn't want to give an excuse to someone to tow the car.

Just saw this post: stickers which might do the trick.
