I can put 4 New lugs on like this.

Then remove the Hartge sticker and drill a 5mm hole in the center for a counter sunk screw with a repair washer for added security

Refit sticker

Job done!

Not really mate no, you'll possibly need a new sticker and just to sand where the old lugs where flat and drill the 5mm hole in the centre but that's all, dads hopefully going to have a look at the tooling this week so shouldn't be to long till we can get one to you.

I haven't made one other than the first one for my car but once we get an idea of how long it takes to make one and materials I can work out a price but don't think it will be horrendous and will get your caps working again.

How many would you be after?
