off hand I know a few:
older Japs - Datsun/Honda/Toyota Triumph saloons / stag / MGB Saab 99/900 (pre '87)
the reason i ask is that i'm after some 5.5 x 13 steel or 5.5 x 14 steel that i can fit the original hubcap to. dave took a long time for this post to appear hence the reason its on here a few times
From a 1987 Indespension catalogue:
1/2" studs on 4.5" or 114mm PCD: Triumph 2000/2.5; Marina van; Allegro; Maxi; Princess; Saab 99.?dia studs on 4.5" PCD 1100/1300
I knew I'd be glad I'd kept that catalogue - though it's worth keeping just for the magnificent cover, which shows a gathering at a lake side, where they'd gathered 20 people, 12 trailers, a horse, and a greyhound, all posed "realistically", presumably to show how jolly useful trailers are.
I particularly like the man shovelling sand and bricks onto the grass, and the bloke about to hit his mate over the head with a sledge hammer, while the customer at the catering van looks on. Priceless.
Wonderful! Has that motorbike actually got a towbar?
It's a concealed one, sir. Page 217 of the catalogue, near the bottom of the page, just under "dog kennels".
And this was all pre-Photoshop, so someone really did gather all those people and kit together, and make them hold daft poses. Did no-one have the courage to point out to the MD that not all Friday afternoon, post-good-lunch ideas should survive the harsh reality of Monday morning?
Perhaps the crag-visaged Alderman Foodbotham was also Chairman of Indespension - "Look, lad, ah want that photo and ah'll have that bloody photo - just get it done".
If you know the metric equivalent to 4.5" you could search
Elder gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Even if you don't "know" the metric equivalent to 4.5", it's not difficult to figure it out.
