Hi

I won the below but after the seller cleaning them they fell apart. Gutted as I've been waiting years for the covers 😔😔 The seller was honest and did keep me updated

It must be something about that plastic. I’ve got a few of them that you can just crush in your hands.

I think I've a full set of intact ones somewhere if you want to drop me  a Pm op 

 

Quick edit scratch that  - haven't got a full set I've got 12 as I ran locking nuts on my exactons (all 12 caps are uncracked and undamaged but some have got a white'ish hue for some reason).......might be able to find the awol 4 somewhere....think I've got the nuts too but not the centre caps

Cheers all

Looks like I will have quite a few options if some of the covers aren't great. I tried to clean one yesterday and didn't end well lol

Jonny from JF3D is currently working on 3d printing these for me. He gave me a couple of samples but is now trying a different more flexible material and is perfecting the printing process for them to get the best finish.
