Granada Alloys

Post by jonno »

Has any one fitted a set of Ford Granada/Scorpio 6 spoke alloys,the ones with the large centre cap hiding the wheel nuts/bolts?
Bit concerned about been able to fit the large centre cap!

Will try to post a photo[/img]

Mine has 6 spoke Granny alloys !!

And guess what, it's got no wheel centres.

My thoughts were to get a set of Granny wheel centres and cut a suitablely sized hole in them, I was then going to try to get some sort of cap ie maybe from a spray can and slip it through the new hole, thus making a complete wheel centre.

An old mate did this on his mini and once he'd put a stick on badge on the cap, you couldn't really tell it wasn't original. I guess the trick is not to destroy your caps in the process.

Is it just the fronts that you cant fit the covers?
Did you need any spacers or extended studs/bolts?

Going to have a go at putting them on when it stops raining, if it stops!!

Cheers aussie might try the cap in middle..

I took off my rear wheel last night (at home in sunny Reading, had a 15minute no-rain window), no spacer on the rear wheel although you should get some extended studs.
