Post by Bigcatfrankie » Sat Mar 31, 2018 8:35 pm

Can anyone recommend a supplier for triple eared bolt-on spinners for standard steel wheels, at reasonable cost?

Orson Engineering do them.

I think SC Prats (sic) sell them, but I had 'issues' with them unless I shopped in person when passing through Gatwick.

Thanks Peter but couldn't find bolt-on spinners on Orson's website. The steel wheels on my Series 2 are the same as early XJ6 and Series 3 E types. The hub caps don't do them any favours, appearance-wise though, so I have removed them. 3 eared spinners would really set off the wheels as they would give a similar look to the Dunlop wheels fitted to D-types and lightweight E-types. I believe Realm Engineering do them, but at a price!

Thanks Steve. You're quite right, SNG Barratt do them and refer to them as ''dummy'' spinners........once again..........not particularly cheap at £582 for 4!
