If no tdreplica.com members have one, try MG Magic
They do not list wiring harnesses on their price  list, but they might still be able to help.
I’m sure this would work too:

For someone thinking to adapt TD hub caps to their VW wheels using the VW clips or screw heads, these are a GREAT price:

Nice find Allen.
For teh nipple style cap that they are selling, you have to make sure the three slots that are pre-punched would be hidden behind the MG cap-center

Not sure.
I did the same thing to edit your post.
When you clicked the link icon, did you paste the url into the field in the opo-up window?

Thanks Paul.  I guess I’m still learning how to work with this site.  No problems and I appreciate your help.  This particular car did not meet the Reserve Price, so it did not sell.There is another replica on eBay with a starting bid of $10,000. Let me try to post this link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp ; ; ;_…[Read more]

Found another site that carries the nipple hub cAps withouty logo.

That console looks great. Do you know what VW or year it came out of?These would be even better if there was some sort of locking compartment to keep prying eyes out.

Not a problem Paul. I was searching through Airhead PArts for an ignition switch and remembered they had those hub caps and that you or someone was looking for a source.

Yes, he told me that he can’t put HER up on eBay, so he has to sell the car.  It’s a Domestic Situation.

Thanks. I was going to call them one of these days.That 131 cap is also $3.50 cheaper for each one, but don’t you know it, they’re out of stock now, backorder only. So, if they fit my wheels, I hope they’ll get more in eventually when I want to buy them.Buying a set of those is still cheaper than getting a fabric cover to put over my spare on…[Read more]

I saw that ad on craigslist maybe 2 months ago when I was looking for a car, and it has been on eBay for a few weeks. He’s getting divorced and says he can’t put the wife up for sale, but maybe she’s less expensive or easier to sell than the car, and then he could keep the MG.

I just noticed mrlmd’s question regarding “three hubcaps, three prices”311-601-151 D will fit the four bolt wheel113-601-151 is for the earlier five bolt wheel and would need the spring clamps that rivet to the wheel (notice the clips/rivets sets come up as recommended accessories)I suspect 131-601-151 A  is also for the four bolt wheel. Notice…[Read more]

The seller would be better off letting the car get totaled or stolen! 

Yes.An original TD hubcap has a smaller diameter than the stock VW hubcap. As you can see, the Prototype Research approach leaves the TD cap sitting on top of the wheel and not over the wheel’s ring.

That’s pretty trick! You can still see part of the VW hubcap ridge though. 

$18,000 replacement cost?

Thanks newkitman!Those are the ones you need to come close the an original style TD cap.There is another approach. The earlier five bolt VW rims used a set of spring clips to hold the hub caps. They were originally riveted to the wheel. You could use them, on a four bolt wheel. And use reproduction original TD caps.Another TD replica…[Read more]

Paul,
I have admired your TD for some time. The wheels and caps look great….Allen, thanks for the hubcap link. I have been searching for the no logo caps for sometime. I am ready to do away with the fake wire wheel look, but until you posted this link all I could find were the  VW and Empi logo.
Mike

I’ve been looking for those or similar for a while. I now have 4 wire wheel steel hubcap covers for my car, the PO “lost” one on the road, and you can’t buy just one, you need to buy 4 or 5 in a set.My car has the VW 15″ wheels with the round holes in them. but how do you know what years they are from? Aren’t they all the same? Airheadparts.com…[Read more]
