Hub caps

Post by lencot76 »

I need to replace the hubcaps on my 1969 Morris 1000 .The chromers have quoted a silly price to rechrome them,and I have seen stainless steel ones at a good price.However they are advertised as 8 1/2 inches int dia.Mine are 8 3/4 between the rims and when I contacted the seller,he said there wouldn`t fit .Surely if they are for a `69 1000 they should all be the same Len

There are two sizes of Minor hub caps, the smaller hubcaps are for the Series MM/early Series II and the larger are for the late Series II and M1000

Thanks for the reply,strange thing is,the ones I saw advertised were the ones normally found on the later Morris`s I know the earlier ones had a different style hub cap .

The style was the same on the small hub caps (1952 - 54), just the size was different. Hub caps 1948 - 51 were plain
