28TE wheel center cap

Post by jms02050 »

Has anyone successfully replaced the plastic center cap on their wheel? I ordered a 2.5 inch replacement from Seadog but it was too big (but not by much). I can't find any identification on the wheel itself to reach out to the manufacturer. Guessing it's Vetus or Edson.

From that vintage Albin, most likely Vetus.

I've got a message out to Vetus. I'll be sure to post a follow up as I know others have asked about the cap as well.

Pretty sure mine is Vetus also. I'm missing the Albin logo though

Same here. That's why I'm looking to repace it. Vetus replied asking for pics and measurements. We'll see...

When I get round to it, there is a company here in the UK that do gel overlay logos called DMB graphics. We've used them a lot in the modified car scene. I reckon they could do stick on gel badges easy enough.

The first time we replaced it with a piece of machined and coated mahogany. Now we are fancier and it has been replaced with a piece of machined and coated mahogany embossed with a lighter wood and with the name of the boat engraved. My co-owner is a wood worker hobbyist with a lot of time on his hands.
