Hi all. Wondering if any one has some swing axle end caps, not the cheap aftermarket chrome stuff.
Either original or billet type. Mine got a bit of corrosion and split  :-\ when I refitted them with my new adjustable spring plates.
Pics of what you got would be good too if not local to Brum.
Links to sites with billet end caps good too.
Thanks all.

I have the heritage ones for IRS on my buggy (slightly modded with a stainless tube welded in) and they are great quality.   Seriously well made and I was very happy with them.

Nice to get some quality bling!  :D :D :D

To be fair they appear very sturdy. My old OE caps split when I refitted them on to my new spring plates. I had some after market ones that I could have fitted but the metal was that thin I could twist them with my bare hands.

I've had these fitted for a few years and they don't need polish, you only have to wash them with the rest of the buggy if you're into that kind of thing.
No need for cap heads either Shaggy, because they have no lip on the outer edge you can get proper bolts in there.  I have heard that with some types of adjustable spring plates you need a spacer or a couple of washers on the bolts between the cover plate and end of the torsion tube?

What does puzzle me is that the IRS type are more dosh for less metal?
