Wheel centre-cap, Rover 57mm.

[David]

Wanted, 1x wheel cap for Vortex or StarSpoke, Rover shield. Part DTC000150, 57 mm. Condition not too important, but not crushed like mine!.
Having swapped a wheel, I found on lowering the jack, that I had somehow mislaid the centre-cap. Eventually found it clamped between the tyre and driveway! You can guess its condition now. I have new Rover shield stickers once I get the plastic bit.

Yes. DTC000150 is the larger Rover badged one, 57mm, generally for V8 18" Vortex and 17" Star Spoke wheels, or the single Rover 75 V8 on 17" Viking wheels.
They also fit some non-V8 approved wheels such as Hairpin and Fork Spoke.
'Lesser vehicles' have the 45 or 54mm Rover version (25, 45 and 75 FWD cars).

All sorted now thanks to 'ceedy'.
Incidentally, for anyone else looking, I did find some NOS ones in France at www.abpparts.com.
Good source for screws, clips, fittings and "odd bits" like that centre cap, as long you have the part number, (thanks for that tip, Jeff).

No worries, a good site that, still has plenty of parts

A lot of Rovers were sold in France so it makes sense, oddly France is also a good source of obscure parts for old Fords. I managed to find a NOS Cooling fan for my Capri in France by using a part number search and they didnt even sell Capri's with that engine in France.
Its amazing where stuff is stashed away, only last year a mate came back from Malta with some parts, all NOS from a Ford dealer who was more than happy to do a deal for a load of old stock. Apparently they even had a new Auto Gearbox for an Escort but he didnt bother with that.

There was loads of XPart stock at the French warehouse (often as not, the MGR label on bits states its location as such). On closure, most if not all of that ended up with Damen & Kroes in Holland, which is why they often have bits that other ex-dealers, even Xpart, do not.
