Club 80-90 Forums

Hi, Does anyone know if a grease cap from a Beetle will fit the T25 ? I have bought some Merc alloys but the centre caps won,t fit over existing grease caps. I have read on the Wiki that it is possible to cut 5mm. off the cap but as a Beetle one is the right depth I wondered if it would fit ?

No idea whether the beetle cap is the same internal diameter but to fit my merc alloys caps I cut 10mm off the grease cap.

I got something that was 10mm thick, placed a knife blade on it and scribed round the cap. This then gave me a nice line to saw to.

You also cannot fit the circlip on the sqaure end of the speedo cable but its never popped out for me in 3 years

Depends on the depth of your caps, i machined my caps 5mm and speedo clips and cable were fine. There are few alternatives been nicely done by people on 8090 i saw some good retro home made dust caps made from rattle can lids,cant remem ber who it was im afraid.

Thanks for your advice, will get onto that after the holidays. Incidentally ,what is a rattle can ?! Merry Christmas.....

It's a lid off a spray paint can
