Does anyone know the I.d of the centre cap hole in the contessa alloys. I'm in UK and have found some 60mm GB caps that I think might fit!!

Thanks

Depends on which wheel you have, there's different sizes.

The earlier ROH Contessas are 67mm measured off the caps I have here.

I've heard of this before, pressure pack can lids, mortein and such also fit but I'm looking for something a little classier :))

Like these???
I made 4 once on my bench lathe, not making more, but I'm sure someone could churn them out on a bigger lathe or a CNC one.
Material was black HDPE plastic. Depth inside has to clear the hub nut & split pin.
They are now on a friend's Cooper S that is seldom driven.
