Thanks Ian......I dread to think how much it might sell for though looking at current price.

Whoever is selling it knows what they are worth too. He sold the wheels without the caps (someone will have bought them thinking they will just buy four caps easily enough). He will now make a goodly amount from the caps too.

looks like I may have to try and repair mine. It looks as if it has been overtightened, probably more than once, so the plastic sleeve on the inside has split.

Liquid metal is what i use, (jb weld). Put a good glob where repair is needed, once dry drill hole and your away. Or put a well greased straw ect where hole needs to be and jb weld round it, once dry remove straw.

Will that work on these covers...they are plastic. If so where is it stocked?

Works on anything, eBay is the cheapest.

What does it bond to?

Virtually any combination of iron, steel, copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, pewter, porcelain, ceramic, marble, glass, PVC & ABS, concrete, fiberglass, wood, fabric, paper -- just about any porous and non-porous material..
