Andrew Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hello all My 1971 herald 13/60 with steel wheels and hub caps questions A) were the hub caps plain as standard were they standard with the triumph globe badge in the middle C) what would you advise keep the hubcaps plain with no badge or purchase four globes for the centre of my hub caps, I am trying to keep the car as original as possible Regards Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Plain as standard. If you are buying note that some new pattern ones have a curved section and just don't look right. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Plain it is Save me some money as well Regards Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Flinn Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 The Globe badged ones are I believe off a Mk1 Triumph 2000. The 13/60 Models should have outer Trims as well as the hub caps I reckon, or where these an optional extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTV8 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 i'm 95% sure the 13/60 should have both hubcaps and outer trims ......... Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yes you are right on the outer trims they were standard but I have also been in formed by a old guy I know that the rims were standard with holes in but an option extra with the long slits in does anybody confirm my information Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 surely it was slots for herald and vitesse holes for later spitfire , GT6 just a idea Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishmosh Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 holes were mk IV /1500/ gt6 mk3. Early herald and late both slots. My 1200 has had trims since I bought it in 85. A common upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67Spit Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Slots were early Vitesse & GT6 MK1 & 2, but as Mk1/2/3 Spits came with no rims, slots were offered as an optional extra - a popular upgrade, as was upgrading to "globe" hubcaps. I had a 1971 Herald 13/60 with round-holed rims and plain hubcaps, which was the correct combination as it left the factory. There is a very good supplier on Ebay who has reproduction hubcaps with the correct dimensions. I bought my hubcaps from him - they were NOS Stanpart items, still in the box, he used them as a template for his repros. You can see them on my Avatar/Profile etc. Can't remember his Ebay ID, sorry.
