Got to thinking about some caps for the ROH mags on the wagon. Called a few Tyre places and they have chromed plastic caps ranging from $10 to $20 each. Thinking back to my days as a storeman in a hotel supplies business, there are these spun aluminium things called pudding or dariol moulds, Perfect!
Dropped by the local kitchen supplies shop and picked up a set of 4 for $7.
Just gotta work out how to attach them :-/ , push through looks possible, pics when (if) finished.

Hi Guys. Stinky, if you get in the baking mood before you use them, I have a WICKED Creme` caramel` recipe. Gotta have the dariol mould for them!!  Seriously though, speaking of Tasman caps. A mate of mine used a set of the "H" hubcap medallions of mine, to make up some caps for his mags. They look great & factory optioned with those medallions on them. Very cool. Rob J |

The tasman caps are almost complete, the project stalled when the wheel place dicked me around. So the caps are just waiting for the day they get a polish and a sticker made for them.  |

The dariol moulds  In a HK rim, they push up inside and look like they were made for it.  ROH Mag without  ROH Mag with, these are just placed there, I have yet to work out how to attach. I might need to go bigger and work out some push through system.  |

They were described as 67mm Dariol Molds.
You'll find them in Kitchen/Homeware stores/

Hi Stinky,
nice caps!
perhaps a rubber bung in the middle could help you squeeze them onto the rim?
Cheers
Ed

Hey Stinky.
Thanks for the info.
I will try to find these moulds.
What did you use to polish them?
Regards
Alex

I should make it clear that the size is 67 x 56 mm.
Alex, I just have a stiched mop on my bench grinder that suits most of the stuff I need to polish. You can pickup kit from hardware stores.
