I have a set of Viva 13" steel wheels. I need the hub caps to go on them - does anyone know of any other vehicles hub caps that might fit? Or anyone got any Viva ones lying about???
Thanks
Don

Do they have to be mint?
Could prob dig out a set of four HC dogdish hubcaps but they wont be perfect i.e surface rust and the odd ding or two

Hello guys!!
Sorry to barg into the discussion here, but I also have a problem concerning the wheel caps. See, I recently purchased a Viva in good condition. Only the usual leaks since he hasn't run since 1992...
I fixed all mechanical problems, but now the embarassing part is i can't seem to remove the wheel caps in order to change the tyres... They just seem to be pressed on the wheels which have bearings to hold the trim/cap, but i can't seem to remove them (even with a screwdriver forced from the sides).
Anyone got any tips?
About the caps you were looking for: there are many Vauxhall Clubs in the UK, which have big storehouses with spares. I'm sure they will have these lying about! Good luck!

Good luck!Originally the viva came with a scissor jack, wheel brace for undoing the nuts and at the other end was a curl or hook type configuration .You put the end hook at the base of the hub cap and then jarr outwards using the side of the brace on the side of the rim. Screw drivers wont give you the leverage but a paint tin opener on a larger scale may be better but, the flat end is best bent over. The owners club or Firenza group would be best ,same as for the hub caps. |

Thanks! A big screwdriver and just some brute force made them pop off. They flew a few meters away as well  . |
