Volvo steel wheel centre caps

GingerNinja

I flipped a Falcon steelie this afternoon and test fit it on my 245. Results below.

The tyre rubs just slightly so I'll need to adjust the offset inward a little. I was just wondering if anyone has those old Volvo chrome centre caps like the ones on the 122 found in the TB thread below. What diameter are they? How do they attach? I was wondering if I could make them work on the Falcon wheels.

They're 140 / 164 hubcaps - p/n 273214-7 (wheel cap kit) and 684835-2 (hubcap with captive nut).<p>

What diameter are they?

200mm, including the outer rubber seal. <p>

How do they attach?

A large Philips head screw through the centre of the wheel cap, which attaches to the hubcap. See picture.

Depends on the size of the Falcon wheel's centre bore, I guess. <p>

I have millions of these hubcaps if you need some.

Hmm, I'll have to measure them up but I reckon I could make those work. Thanks for that.
