I found the same - they look ok, but aren't a good, tight fit. I've stuck with my OEM ones, though they're a bit faded now so need constant maintenance to keep them looking fresh.

These have a marginally bigger overall diameter than the originals. I'd be interested to hear if they are a better fit than the Halfords generic item.

Yes, they are.

The Halfords ones were no good on my '54 ZT too small. Chris S.

I've used these in the past, matches the originals though the fitting prongs differ from the originals, but they are indistinguishable from the originals when fitted:

Thanks Steve. That's the part and supplier that I mentioned in post no. 10. Unfortunately Dave freewheeler hasn't come back to find out that there's a better choice than Halfords.

I hope this helps Dave.

They are a much better fit than the Halfords ones imho!

Did you obtain replacements Simon and if so did you opt for oem or generic?

SD1too · 25th November 2021, 07:11

Ha ha, yes I did thank you and they are second hand original/OEM/genuine!

I have the genuine Halfords set and whilst not perfect they serve the purpose.
