Hi guys help............

 

Ive no idea im afraid. Mine are orignial vw ones and they never fall off!

 

I'd mail heritage and ask .but my money is that they are just rubbish ...find a set of 70s original

 

My stainless ones are a loose fit so I run a bead of silicone around the wheel.

 

Welcome Fernando - I have original ones on mine - at least I think they are - they are a tight fit and need a good pull to get them off - perhaps look for some originals on ebay.

 

Same here

 

Silicone ....?

 

Hi guys thanks for ideias, but i don´t understand why?
I bought 4 hub caps new, but...................
Silicone????????????
I´ve been told to stick caps and weel and put screw

 

Silicone multi purpose sealant from d.i.y store.

 

I know what it is ..I stick it round the bath ....gently mallet the hubcap smaller or send them back

 

Sorry that was for the OP, but you should really use a better quality sealant meant for purpose for round the bath

 

Welcome, Fernando! If you've got an prototype bay, you possibly need metal clips on the wheels to hold the hub caps on.

 

Thanks guys, but i don´t understand why this´s happening?
The model of the mine earlybay is rare?
Yesterday replaces the pump brakes were of, was very old, 44 years

 

It's happening because they are NOT genuine old hubcaps but new poor quality ones made in Brazil .....
You have bog standard late wheels with the small 5 112 pattern ?

Stainless ones rust and don't fit either ...you need old genuine hubcaps

 

Its because you have bought the wrong ones it seems the link says this .....

For Vehicles

• T2 Baywindow 1972-

 

Irrelevant of year he has the latebay small 5x 112 PCD wheels ....

 

Have your wheels got "lumps" pressed into them to hold the hubcaps on, Fernando? If yes, and they're falling off, it's poor quality hub caps as @lhu1281 says.

 

wheels are original, for the last year when was ckeaning had 4/1971
It is material which has more metallizing????
And caps are replicas. But already i bought twice.
