Yes these might do. I want to fit triumph herald hubcaps which are reasonably heavy and so could be shaken loose. I have considered threaded studs that are normally used to retain soft top hoods and tonneau covers but I would need to get the location spot on

andremhush these are original GTE wheels so the hub-cap fitting's are standard.
Painted the wheels in traditional hot-rod red today.
Ready to trial fit the 31/10.50/15 rear tyres.
These tyre's are larger than I thought, the coke can on the floor give them some scale!!
I might have to have a re-think.

Methinks 10.5 is a bit wide for your rims which look like 6.5-7.5 .
It would look monster with those on though. It might roll around on the narrow rims.

GT (coupe), not GTE (which had 14” wheels). Have you had them banded yet - they’re 5.5” as standard.

Had a little time spare so I fitted the tyres.
They do need a 20mm spacer to clear the axle tie rods but other than that I like them.
I have ordered a pair of 195x80x15 tyres for the front wheels which should give me the look I'm after.

Fair doos they do look a bit lot awesome. 80s on the front should be right. With those tyres who needs springs? Respect!

My trusty old FORD ANGER pick-up failed the MOT on tyres, hand brake, fog light and number plate light !!!
All now done so a new MOT was issued yesterday afternoon!
Which means I can relax and slow down on this build!

And here's me thinking you're building a new pickup because the old one was knackered, true fog and number plate light are very serious never mind now you will have two spare vehicles. A man after my own heart!

Today we collected the material to trim the dash, interior and the seats
We also received the shortened prop shaft so I can now think about firing it up and getting it moving under it's own power!!

Perfect. Why can I never find old setees? Are they all being upcycled into Rat Rods?

Free cycle in the U.K. has loads of people giving them away. Or just buy the Saturday paper, a large coffee and hang out on the local tip approach road and intercept one on its final journey...!

I just seem to have lost the knack of scrounging. Possibly because I have so much 'useful' stuff. I will look out Freecycle. Thanks.

Obviously, I'm a big fan of re-using the leather from old sofas.
And I think that is a great colour for a car interior.
