Just wondering if you can buy new center caps for contessas?

Any help would be great.
Ryan

ROH don't make new Contessa's anymore, so you might be out of luck.

Spray paint lids fit in like they were made for the job.

Dulux ones apparently. I saw Grant's woody at MDU with 4 very well fitted Dulux paint caps in the centre of his contessas. Great idea.

You used to be able to get them from ROH a few years ago, but then that might have been when they were reproducing Contessas for a while there. Even then they only came in one size and as we all know over the years Contessas have had lots of different sized centre holes.
