Hello,
Does any one know if there are hub caps that fit Minor wheels - that don't have the 'M' motif?

Re: Hubcaps
Yes. I'm pretty sure some of the vans and pick-ups had plain hub caps.......

Re: Hubcaps
If you have an English Wheel you can smooth them out. This only works on the stainless ones, not the chrome plated ones.

Re: Hubcaps
This subject has been discussed lately regarding Weller aftermarket wheels;
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=67167
Late Austin badged vans and pickups had plain 8 3/4" hub caps fitted to Lp917 wider wheel rims.
The Lp917 rims accept the M logo hub caps so you'd expect the plain ones to fit the narrower rim.
I can't confirm this because I haven't got an M logo hub cap to compare, but I think the radius inner edge of the two hub caps may be different?
Hope the link works as I posted photos there.
Regards John

Re: Hubcaps
Just seen your double posting.
The reply from Andy W is probably more relevant to you.
My reply is about what the original hubcaps were like and an issue with Weller rims.
If it is of interest the original plain van/pickup hubcaps were stainless steel

Re: Hubcaps
I have a 1951 4 Door MM with plain hub caps as fitted when new.
