Minator Wheels

[Midget Larry]

I have Minator 13-J SCP wheels on my '74 MG Midget. I understand that these were marketed bit for the Minis, but that they used to be sold in the Victoria British catalogue for Spridgets. Haven't seen them i that catalogue lately, thought. The center caps on my Minator wheels are dented up, so I would like to get replacement caps. Somebody at a LBC gathering the other day told me you could get the center caps with the MG marque on them. Wow. Any of you folks know (1) a US source for the center caps, and (2) if you can get 'em with the MG logo?

Moss motors sells the MG Logo on a peel-and-stick round emblem that would like fit any suitable slightly convex cap you might get or have. It is worth a try without buy the whole cap. When you do buy the cap, the MG logo that goes on comes seperately anyhow.

My MGB has Minator wheels which came with cheap plastic hub caps. I talked to my local MG parts supplier who told me Minator are now producing metal hub caps for their wheels (with MG logos). I can't find an email address for Minator but this my local retailer.

This thread was on the MGOC forum in reply to my request for info on Minator hub caps. You could try them also.
>> My Minator wheels were supplied by MWS https://www.midlandwheels.com/ the aluminium hub caps are a good fit and I had a choice of red or black for the ‘MG’ logo. There are no lugs to break off and the caps don’t fall off, they also fit over the normal hub retaining nuts on the rear axle (including the Sierra hubs on mine) and the front without removing the dust caps. <<
