Late 'Tron' wheel centre cap wanted

Late 'Tron' wheel centre cap wanted was created by Warren
Hi,
I've just bought a very nice 86 VS with the 'Tron' wheels. Unfortunately one of the centre caps has come off (broken plastic clip) - if any members have one spare I would very much appreciate it if you could get in touch.
I will pay a fair price for one in good condition.
Thanks a lot.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHi Warren
I have the same wheels and have been considering making copies with some kind of mould making exercise... I've found that 3d printing would not suit making them.
Anyway - these are the only ones I have seen on ebay over the last couple of years.

you just have to buy two wheels and tyres to get the centre caps...

Thanks for the reply Jeremy.
A guy here: xwebforums.org/archive/index.php?t-13574.html says he holds his caps in place with 3 dabs of silicon sealant...
I think I'll give this a try (maybe with some velcro strips too)!

The hub caps on my wheels have always been really solid even with a few tabs missing. I think this is because the wheels have been repainted and the thick paint helps them hold??? Sounds crazy but recently I got a replacement wheel and the same cap hardly fits at all. Unless it's a slightly different size?
I have resorted to electrical tape around the hole. i guess the silicone is more secure but a bit messy...
