Roger Lucke has recently renovated my 'cache' of old and very battered original hub caps. They are all now very useable and four of them will shortly be fitted to the wheels of the Saloon. They require re-chroming but have been adapted by Roger using the 'Ken Martin' patented fixing method, as previously supplied by Yesterday's Components. See below:

Note the different diameters for the 'Morris' and 'Morris Minor' script items.

It is surprising how well the hub caps respond to some restoration. These two pictures show one original cap which was very dented before restoration in the 1960s. Harry decided not to copy my 'design' exactly. The need to take out the caps will inevitably arise to gain access to repiar spokes or rebuild the wheel.
