Hi Jim did you get your trim rings ?

 

[Jimjordan2]

Still kind of waiting around for a couple of them to show up. Nothing yet.

Jim. You can buy new repro sets from the UK and also NoS come up as the slotted ones were also used on SV alpines, later rapiers and some Hillmans

I had actually bought a new set, and was very disappointed in the looks and fit of them. My 50 year old set was shinier and better fitting. Sold them for what I bought them for.
Thanks for sharing with all though.

Please refresh my memory. I recall the slotted trim rings were on Series V Alpines and Mk2 Tigers and the "X" patterned ones were on the Mk1 Tigers and Series IV Alpines. Is that correct? Were the Mk1a's slotted as well or was there a specific VIN where they switched? I have had aftermarket wheels on my cars for decades, so haven't been exposed to stock wheels for a long time.

I have 3 dress rings of a Mk1 origional not restored

They are origional from a Mk1 that was stored from late seventy's to 2011.
They have not been cleaned or touched

The cross hatch trims are specific to the MKI Tiger, not used on alpines.
