You're all talking about the same person, the ones on here and Ebay and the TRDC website are all being sold by Brian, so buy them from whichever place you prefer. Personally I'll be collecting mine from him at the TRDC weekend at Billing. :D

See table in earlier post for correct pricing - and those listed on ebay are the non-anodised and un-polished part of the batch of 500 I had made! I am simply trying to broaden the marketing (and they are dearer as I have to pay ebay fees - not factored in to the original pricing).

Note
Both types are now listed on ebay - but all are more expensive due to the cost of ebay fees (including on the postage). Therefore apply direct through the forum!

Brian - I would like to buy another 10 from you please if I can collect at Billing on Sunday?

They are fantastic - I just measured those I got from you up against my NOS original caps. The external (visible) diameter is spot on. They fit snugly in my alloys.

The only difference I could see is that they are a lot thicker (stronger) than original ones.

Would you like payment now to secure order or cash at Billing?

Thank you, glad you like them! Almost half have been bought or pre ordered now.

There has been no interest at all in the non anodised ones, so I am having the 200 of these polished and then anodised, hopefully by Friday in time for the TRDC weekend.

Hi,

Having seen these wheel centres can confirm they really are the best available so if not sure if too renew your own and sure of the quality then fear not, seen beat up one's on ' The Bay ' cost more !

Cheers John

Billing saw a large number of sales of these - thank you to all those that collected their pre-orders :) ! I had just part of one box full of these left having cleared 4 boxes completely! There are now very few left of the original 250 polished and anodised - but I have taken another 150 plain to be polished and anodised as well. Once those extra centres are gone it is most unlikely that there will be any more made. :(

I have kept two sets of plain centres (as they did not seem as popular) should anyone want a set to be finished to suit themselves.

The last batch cost slightly more to be polished and anodised, so I am having to raise the price to £12.25 per unit. Postage has not changed (yet!) so
postage, packing and insurance (UK pounds) for a set of 4 or 5 is tabulated below:

Place_________ 4 ___________ 5
UK .............. £55.96 ...... £68.62
EU ... ........... £60.35 ...... £73.01
USA Can...... £61.44 ...... £74.10
Aus NZ ....... £61.75 ...... £74.41

The engineer who made these is 75 soon and is retiring. I have had one last batch made on the basis that this will mean there are likely to be some available for the next few years. Raw material costs are higher as this last batch was smaller. In addition the anodiser no longer polishes so they have had to go to one more firm for finishing. As a result the price is now £16.95 per unit and postage has also gone up in March and will be going up again to the USA from July.
Please contact me if you need a set of 4, 5 or in fact however many you want!
