The spinner is about the same size as a TR one but the thread is huge as you can see from the pictures, theyre also Mazak so tend to not be in very good condition now and The guy I sold that set too is still struggling trying to find someone who could safely re-plate.

They are sometimes available in the US and there are new ones available now but theyre not threaded as they have a fixing bolt through. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie D Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 If it’s for decoration only then maybe a standard 52mm spinner (Jag I think) could be modified to fit. What diameter is the thread on the Nokof? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianc Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Why bother - only increases unsprung weight, which alloys should be reducing. I have been running successive TRs without hubcaps and now spinners (on alloys) for some 60 years. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

silverfox4 Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 As Stuart has noted, you can now get the new bolt-on type from GC360 wheels in Vancouver - should work ...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 If dummy knock on spinners are your thing, then why not go the whole way and fit a dummy supercharger.
